- Feel Better Soup
Last weekend, Matt came down with...something. I don't know if chicken soup really is the cure-all to end-all, but I'd recently made a smoked chicken stock (remains of a whole chicken Matt had smoked with many vegetables & herbs), so it seemed...
- Italian Chicken, Bean & Pasta Soup For Souper Sundays
This was a pretty awesome soup. Making stock from the remnants of this roast chicken, & using the recipe for Pasta and Bean Soup from Tom Valenti's Soups, Stews & One-Pot Meals...proscuitto crisped in oil, then lots of veggies, Stock, water, potatoes,...
- Souper Sundays: Chipotle Chicken Tortilla Soup
Another Sunday, another soup. Another chance to join up with Deb & Souper Sundays. This soup was all for Matt. I think the name explains all. I used this recipe, with a few changes. First, for the broth, I roasted the chicken beforehand, giving it a...
- Gingery Broth With Wonton Ravioli
It's getting colder (fine with me!), which means we're coming on soup weather. I love soup. Whether it's as simple as broth with tiny star-shaped pastas, or roasted and pureed vegetables, chunks of foods floating around...don't care....
- Heart-warming
For Valentine's Day, Matt and I made each other dinner (we'd already dined out, Saturday). He prepared sushi for me (yum), and I gave him a nice, warm bowl of Ginger Chicken Soup. Very simple to make, and was a good use for the three containers...

Souper Sundays: Chicken Soup with Jasmine Rice & Ginger
It's been a while.
But here's my contribution to Deb's Souper Sundays.
A surprisingly filling soup. A homemade chicken broth for Matt, vegetable for us.
Jasmine rice is simmered in water for a bit, then stock, salt, soy sauce (in place of fish sauce) & sugar are added, rice simmers a little longer.
Stir in the ginger, and...yep, tiny bit more.
Ladle into bowls, top with chicken & reserved ginger...and eat.
Warming, hearty & just generally good.
