The Everything Soup

This dish was among the first recipes my mom taught me. Maybe it’s because she knew there was no way for me to mess it up, or maybe it’s because she knew that I would spend my entire paycheck buying extra lives on Candy Crush that I would need a meal that could be made on a budget, but either way, this is one of the simplest and heartiest soups I’ve made. I’ve since seen multiple variations of this recipe, which only shows how versatile and easy it is to customize this dish!

Start by browning onions and garlic in olive oil, then add ground beef or turkey and cook until no longer pink. Then simply add cans of minestrone, ranch style beans, diced tomatoes, Ro*tel, and a few seasonings. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, serve with a slice of crusty French bread, and you’ve got yourself a delicious, inexpensive, and comforting fall meal with plenty of Candy Crush lives to spare. Enjoy!

  • The beautiful French palmier cookie is light, crispy, buttery, flaky, and only slightly sweet, making it the perfect accompaniment to a steaming cup of tea. It’s also surprisingly easy - using only 5 simple ingredients. Check out the link in the bio for the recipe!
  • Still dreaming about this water-to-table platter of crab, mussels, clams, and shrimp, served over garlic noodles and buttered pan-seared fingerling potatoes. (Not pictured: the clam chowder and calamari that was already devoured!).
  • Turkish coffee to go with our...coffee. ☕️ #MustBeMonday
  • The crudités platter at @terraincafe, served alongside their green chickpea hummus.
  • Why is it that when romaine lettuce gets recalled I don’t touch the thing for a year and a half but I will happily eat raw cookie dough by the spoonful? Turns out the same goes for this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread! New blog/recipe post now up.
