Soups-%26-stews/10 recipes

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget buying canned cream of chicken soup, this recipes is soooo much better.

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

A clean tasting soup that is packed with protein rich beans.

My mother's famous hash brown potato casserole. Easy to make one dish casserole that creamy and delicious comfort food.

Bev's Green Bean Casserole recipe

Instead of frozen veggies we used fresh broccoli and cauliflower and steamed them part way. We also used swiss cheese instead of cheddar and the results were surprisingly good.

Easy no-fuss Slow cooker (Crockpot) potatoes, cheese and ham.

This prosciutto, fontina and sun-dried tomato tart was brilliant. The combination of these three ingredients and the buttery-crispy puff pastry was absolutely delicious!

Easy Baked Potato Soup recipe

My favorite as a child growing up in cold Minnesota.

From across Northern Italy there are many variations. A rich broth, juicy Italian tomatoes and rich herb simmered for a long time. I used a mixture of sliced mushrooms from my local supermarket and dried lobster, oyster and shitake mushrooms. Then used the mushroom juice in place of chicken broth. Outstanding reduction of rich comfort flavors.

A hearty and warm choice for those cold winter nights.
