Winter soup/6 recipes

This crowd-pleasing, kicked-up casserole uses pantry ingredients and refrigerator staples topped with a refrigerated pie crust and baked until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.

Excellent! Very authentic rendition of this classic soup. Very fresh and clean tasting with great flavor. It even beats the hot and sour soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant.

Another quick and easy chicken dish that will have your kids begging for more!

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.

This Mexican style casserole is full of beans and vegetables, with the two layers of the tortilla pieces, vegetable mixture and cheddar cheese, loaded the tons of tasty flavor.

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!

These are the best crackers ever. We have been serving these crackers to our guests a few times, everyone just raves about how addictive-ly delicious they are. Serve these crackers with cheese, hummus, or just having them directly is yummy enough!

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.

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!
