Winter soup/5 recipes

As I do not own a bread machine, I adapted this recipe to make in my KitchenAid stand mixer using the dough hook. I kept the igredients basically the same, with the exception of adding 1 1/2 Tbs. honey. I baked it in a 9" x 5" loaf pan.

The soup was creamy yet slightly chunky, which was the kind of texture I love. Served it with some homemade croutons, absolutely delicious.

Using fresh Tamarind pods make your own fresh homemade tamarind paste. You can use it in Indian cooking, Thai, Jamaican and Mexican. Add a spoonful to flavor curry, soups or even into meat taco mixes. In India it is used for a soft drink. Sort of like iced tea with an interesting tang or zing.

Shiitake mushrooms, tofu, bok choy and carrots are cooked together with ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce and broth. Tons of fresh and delicious flavor. Yum!

Easy Jack Daniels spiked smokey baked beans. Enriched with sugar and "spice" and everything nice! :)

Butternut Squash Soup with Celery and Carrots recipe

This is one of the best butternut squash casserole I have ever made. There were lots of flavors and textures going on. We made half of the recipe, I added some buttermilk powder into milk to make the buttermilk and used the dried thyme, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It came out cheesy, sweet and tasty, but not too feeling heavy or rich afterwords, definitely a keeper!

Slightly sweet and sour. Ginger and garlic Asian dressing was super flavourful. The napa cabbage, carrots, and radishes gave the salad a nice crunch. Definitely will be making it again with my leftover turkey. I'm sure that it works great with chicken as well.

This was outstanding. A huge amount of flavor was developed in the slow and low technique using my slow cooker. A classic mostly hands-free make ahead main dish that filled the house with aroma.

A very tasty and light soup, and also packed with goodness. It certainly helped me use up some of the garden-fresh tomatoes that tasted amazing, and it warmed me up instantly, an ideal soup for fall.

Sweet Gherkin Pickles recipe

Stuffed chicken breasts with ham and swiss cheese that's served with a mushroom sauce.

You'll need your crockpot to make this hearty soup made with italian sausage, zucchini and chickpeas.

So filling, and delicious! A good chili is always welcome by my family. Soaked up all the yummy sauce with our homemade dinner rolls. Hmmm, so good!

Cheesy dumplings baked on top of creamy sauce with chunks of chicken, bacon, onions and mushrooms. All in one deluxe chicken dinner.

A rich soup with layers of earthy warm flavors. Maitake mushrooms (hen of the woods) are believed to have numerous medicinal properties and taste great.
