Fish Soup with Tomatoes

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Oct 13, 2010 at 7:29am

Where do you buy fish? A tricky thing, in Minnesota, at least to find consistently fresh choices – I’ve bought nice fillets and some real stinkers from every major outlet in the Twin Cities. If you’re willing to shop online, I can say that I’ve been extremely pleased with the sustainably caught king salmon and…

Pot Roast with Sherry, Onions, Thyme, & Sour Cream

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Sep 19, 2010 at 6:30pm

OK, I gave in, but just a teeny tiny bit. I’m still grilling, but I was so chilly last night and today that somehow a chuck roast found its way into my grocery cart and lo, a pot roast was born. We need some braising birth control around here stat – aka sunshine! warmth! –…

Cold Cucumber Soup (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 27, 2010 at 9:20am

Nathan and I enjoyed the most delicious cold cucumber soup while in East Hampton.  It was dairy-free, yet smooth and creamy in texture, a bit frothy even, tasting of little more than pleasantly salty cucumbers and dill.  We couldn’t stop talking about it and I promised that I’d attempt a version at home. This soup…

Summer Tomato Soup with Chipotle Cream

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 10, 2010 at 7:34am

It was 96 degrees today, dripping with humidity, a mean fist of heat that punched me in the face each time I was stupid enough to open the door.  Needless to say, not a day for ovens or cooktops or hot soup. And yet…I made this soup anyhow.  I made it because it’s the best…

Summer Saturday Lunch: Gazpacho, and Poached Eggs Over Potato-Green Pepper Pancakes

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jul 3, 2010 at 11:48am

Have I got a gazpacho recipe for you.  This version is smooth and creamy (without cream), made crunchy with a garnish of minced cucumber, green pepper, tomato, and croutons.  Serve it icy cold for summer in a bowl.             Or cup – sip it while you fry a few potato…

Hearty Summer Soup

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Jun 8, 2010 at 7:21am

Asparagus is at its peak right now – don’t miss it! Grilled, roasted, blanched…all fabulous, but make sure to save a bunch for this lovely soup. (Or for this potato-asparagus frittata, which I posted last week.) Here’s a simple, flavorful soup that makes delicious use of spring and summer produce.  In this version I include…

Swedish Pea Soup

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on May 5, 2010 at 7:50am

This isn’t exactly a Spring dish (see this Hearty Summer Soup for a more seasonal option), but it’s so delicious I’m going to post it anyhow. I’ve made split pea soup a million times, love it.  I know that my dad & stepmom Susanna like it too, and since they were coming to stay for a few…

Tomato Soup & Flatbread

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 12, 2010 at 7:45pm

Minnesota is butt-ugly in March, there’s just no other way to say it. Mud-covered ice just sucks, although fog-covered snirt bites too. (I love using those words. That felt good.)             Yeah, it’s time for some color. Time to buy a bunch of tulips (yellow!), time to make tomato soup…

Garlic Soup with Vegetables, Ham, & Fried Egg

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 10, 2010 at 7:02pm

Another egg. I know! But what can I say? Garlic soup ladled over a fried egg is a classic dish and one of the yummiest things on the planet, so there it is. I added vegetables and ham to the soup, because I had vegetables and ham to use and I knew they’d rock with…

Farmily

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that I love visiting my aunt Mary and uncle Bruce’s farm in west-central Minnesota. If you’re a new reader – welcome! – and here’s why: Beauty. Stillness.             Warm, buttery scones with softly scrambled eggs and browned sausages….
