Roasted Butternut and Red Pepper Soup
You may tell from the number of soup recipes on this website, that I really enjoy the idea of nutritious liquid in a bowl (or cup in this case). The toasted and buttered piece of ciabatta may also play a role in my soup-loving ways, for what is a soup without something to dunk in…
Red Lentil and Lemon Soup

Finally My Kids Approved this Tomato and Parmesan Soup

We are really trying to eat more whole foods and less sugar these days and I thought I could surely replicate their favourite soup but…
