A roasty, toasty, Paleo feast
Pan-Roasted Chicken Thighs Artichoke-Olive Tapenade Roasted Cauliflower and Radishes If nothin’ says lovin’ like somethin’ from the oven, then this meal was the purest expression of affection imaginable. Also, it tasted delicious, wasn’t overly expensive, and was pretty damn healthy … Continue reading

Vegan, but not very: Chickpea-Quinoa Pilaf with Roasted Carrots
I had every intention of making this vegan, but then I realized I had chicken broth, not vegetable broth. Do with that as you will.
The pilaf recipe is adapted from Veganomicon, and it’s by far the tastiest thing I’ve made out of said cookbook yet (with the exception of a double pea soup to which I added bacon, tee hee). With the spicy sweetness of the roasted carrots, it made a well-rounded and thoroughly satisfying dinner. Continue reading

Senegalese Peanut & Shrimp Soup
It's amazing what a half-empty refrigerator (and two-thirds-empty pantry) can do for the old creativity. No meat (except bacon). Just a few fresh veggies. Half a package of tofu. Oh… wait… um… score! Peanut butter! And some frozen shrimp! And … Continue reading

Roasted Asparagus Soup
Maybe it’s because I grew up in Stockton, California, home of the Asparagus Festival (and one of the largest asparagus-producing areas in the world). But the arrival of spring and the arrival of fresh asparagus in the market have always … Continue reading

Simplest Black Bean Soup
OK, so maybe not quite as easy as "open a few cans, dump their contents into a pot, stir." But still, pretty appallingly easy–and better-tasting (as well as healthier) than a lot of the black bean soups out there. In … Continue reading

Indian Ginger-Cauliflower Soup
A couple of months ago, we had a lovely Indian dinner at our friends Anne and Mark's house. Onion fritters, chicken, lentils, rice, etc., etc…. all fresh-tasting, spicy without being mindblowingly hot, and totally devoid of that generic "curry powder" … Continue reading

Spicy Carrot Soup
Most of the soups I make are more or less carefully calibrated to not make a crap-ton. There are only four of us, after all, though Fisher's usually good for three or seven or twenty-eleven helpings, and the last thing … Continue reading

Soup365 #104. It takes a (Filipino) village
So I got this message from my friend Dominique: Dear Soupmeister, This weekend I made bok choy + tamarind + mushroom soup, and it was delish, despite mushrooms and instant tamarind being from a sketchy as hell Asian store. It … Continue reading

Soup365 #102. Birthday Soup, with no debt owed to Little Bear
Oddly, Rhys did not choose a soup to be the centerpiece of his birthday dinner. He wanted his favorite meal of all time–steak and mashed potatoes–and so it was steak and mashed potatoes he got. Along with a strawberry chiffon … Continue reading

Soup365 #101. Smooth and sassy Red Lentil Curry
So after making the Soup That Ate North Portland, I was ready for something simple, gentle, quiet, satisfying. This curried red lentil stew-thingy was just the ticket. Red lentils might be my new favorite ingredient. They were not even on … Continue reading
