Soup's On!

No soup for you? Make your own!

Soup. One of my most frequent cravings. I'm not picky either - I like all the soups: noodle, tomato, bisque, chowda', vegetable, lentil, etc. Soup has that magical way of making you feel cozy and happy - a memory associated with the comfort of my childhood. One thing I love about soup is that you can basically take whatever you have in your fridge and pantry and turn it into soup - so that's what I've done below! Check out three of my favorites - Butternut Squash, Broccoli Cheddar, and Zuppa Toscana - with topping variations to keep leftovers interesting!

Braised Chicken with Shallot Mustard Sauce

Low and Slow

This one pot supper is packed with flavor and perfect for a week night. While the chicken braises, you can watch Jeopardy (an addiction of mine), throw in a load of laundry or make yourself a cocktail to unwind from the work day.

I tend to start a braised dish like this as soon as I get home from work. That way, it has plenty of time to develop flavor and it's ready by the time my man friend gets home.* :)
