January: Month of Soups

January is National Soup Month, and I have been doing my part to join in the fun.  So far, I have made these soups:

  • Minestrone (tons of veggies made it seem like a vitamin infusion!)
  • Red Lentil (a nice combination of sweet, savory, spicy and hearty)
  • Butternut Squash (roasted and mashed the squash, instead of pureeing, for a thicker, rustic-style soup.  Topped with diced green apples and fresh cilantro–yum!)
  • Chicken Noodle (wonderful cold weather comfort food)

My focus has been on keeping the soups low-fat and loaded with veggies to make up for all the overeating and under-nourishing I did between Thanksgiving and New Years.  There are still a few days left in Soup M, and I do want  make at least a couple more soups before January ends, but I am planning to finish up with a bang on “Soup-er Bowl Sunday”, aka  February 2nd.  I think as a reward for all the healthy foods, I will do something creamy and decadent, like a Baked Potato Soup with bacon and cheddar, or a seafood bisque.  I am open to suggestions though! 🙂

About T

Greetings! I am one of the West Coast representatives of Cast Iron and Wine, originally from PA, but residing in beautiful Southern California for more than a decade. I am a life-long adventurous eater and cooking enthusiast, and I am fortunate to be located close to a number of farmers' markets, specialty markets, and ethnic grocery stores, where I can almost always find something new (to me!) to try. Cooking and creating in the kitchen make me ridiculously happy, and while my creations might not always be a raging success, I always have fun!

    Love soup! All year round. Today I’m making split-pea. In an enameled cast-iron pan.
