Potage au Cresson (Watercress Soup)
Posted January 7th, 2010Start the year healthy…I’m going to try to. Soup is a good choice when it’s cold and you’re trying to eat in a more healthy way.

Posted November 12th, 2009Here’s another favorite soup recipe from my files…it’ great! Dan Barber’s organic Cauliflower Soup.

Posted October 8th, 2009We’re featuring another zucchini recipe this week…just in case you’ve still got some left! My daughter, Dana, made this soup for me the other night after my long day of baby-sitting. She’s a busy mother of two so she’s always looking for recipes that are fast, nutritious and delicious…it is amazing!
Nana’s Chicken Soup with Matzoh Balls
Posted September 17th, 2009We’ll be celebrating the Jewish New Year this Friday night with a family meal which always begins with Nana’s Chicken Soup. This is an “historical” recipe, taught to me by my mother-in-law and now I’m teaching it to my children and grandchildren. It’s already become a tradition with my granddaughter’s to help me make the matzoh balls…they love it!
Madonna’s Green Bean Soup
