This lovely blend of apples, butternut squash and curry is just so yummy! This autumn soup is very creamy even though it is very low in fat. It is even tastier if made in advance and refrigerated before pureeing in blender and reheated when ready to serve, but it isn’t necessary. I served this creamy luscious soup as an appetizer in a demi-tasse for a Fall evening ... Read More »
Sweet Pea And Spinach Soup
This recipe is adapted from an old-time favorite of the Silver Palate cookbook. I was skeptical when I first discovered it 20 some years ago but was won over by the delicious blend of flavors. So I gave it my Cuisinicity touch to make it healthier and it became a Katz family staple for all those years....but I just revamped it yet again to make it vegan! I replaced the ... Read More »
Hearty Turkey Chili
This turkey chili is hearty and satisfying! It is filled with beans and uses a relatively small amount of extra lean ground turkey breast (with no skin or dark meat mixed in—check the package label) so it is not only luscious but heart-healthy as well. The hint of chipotle and balsamic vinegar give it a little "kick" that is just right! The addition of cornmeal at the very ... Read More »
Creamy Red Lentil Squash Soup
This wonderful creamy red lentil squash soup is a family favorite that I like to make on a cold winter night! The spices (coriander, cumin cinnamon & turmeric...Yum!) blend beautifully with the sweet flavor of the butternut squash and the red lentils. No one has any idea that this nutritional powerhouse of a legume, rich in protein, fiber and vitamin and minerals is ... Read More »
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
I love love love this vegan creamy cauliflower soup! It is creamy but has no cream and no dairy. It is just so satisfying and so very simple. It's basically made up of soy milk and lots of cauliflower! The pepitas on top give it a little crunchiness and the drizzle of extra virgin olive oil add just the right touch! Creamy Cauliflower Soup 2 Tbsp ... Read More »
Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios
Of course I don't use cream in my Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios! It doesn't need it. The soy milk takes care of that. This vegan recipe is so easy to make: it's ridiculous! Basically, it's asparagus and soy milk (and a sprinkle of pistachios) but really that's almost all you need in this yummy soup! Cream of Asparagus 8 cups fresh asparagus spears ... Read More »
Tuscan White Bean Soup
This may well be my very favorite soup. It's hard to just declare that because I love all my soups, but all right, I'll just say it--It's just perfect! That little touch of white wine just makes this soup divine! I have recently updated this recipe to include whatever favorite "greens" you like, right before you are about to serve it. I especially love this soup with fresh ... Read More »
Vegetarian Chili
This vegetarian (vegan, depending on the beer you use) chili has bold Southwestern flavors and is so heartwarming on a cold wintery night-- Perfect by a roaring fire with your honey...but also wonderful for the whole family! I like to use fresh grilled corn briefly roasted in a hot oven for this recipe. It gives the kernels that wonderful fire-roasted taste that adds a ... Read More »
Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup
The lemon juice added at the last minute gives this hearty Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup a great tangy flavor. It’s slow cooking as most soups are but the assembly is right out of your pantry and quick and, if you have a crock pot, you can even let the cooking part take place while you are out! I love to use red lentils for this soup because they are nice and soft when ... Read More »
