curried gyOza sOup

If you’re ready to take your soup game to the next level, Curry Gyoza Soup is here to deliver bold, exciting flavors in every bite. This dish combines the fiery richness of red curry paste with the smooth creaminess of coconut milk, creating a luxurious broth that will instantly warm you up. But what really sets this soup apart is the addition of gyoza—Japanese dumplings that are added to the mix.

For those unfamiliar with gyoza, they’re small, crescent-shaped dumplings traditionally filled with ground meat, vegetables, and seasonings. Think of them as the Japanese cousin to Chinese potstickers. In this soup, they bring a hearty, savory element that pairs beautifully with the creamy, spiced broth.

Each spoonful of Curry Gyoza Soup delivers a burst of flavor—from the subtle heat of the curry to the soft, flavorful filling of the dumplings. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro, a sprinkle of green onions, and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing finish. This fusion of Thai and Japanese cuisine creates a soup that’s not only comforting but also a little bit adventurous!

peanut satay ramen

Spicy Peanut Satay Ramen, a big steaming bowl of slurpy noodles in the middle of winter is just about one of the best comfort foods!

There’s no need for takeout when you can make it better at home. Especially when it’s super simple and fast to whip up any night of the week! I love the creamy peanut butter taste and the warm spices of the chili oil combined in this dish, as a matter of fact I love it so much I’d rather enjoy planting my face in a bowl of this ramen than go to the local ramen restaurant near me! I know a recipe is a really good one when it’s better than any restaurant’s version of it that I’ve had anywhere.

You can make it as spicy as you want by putting as much or as little chili oil as you dare…and this recipe makes two large bowls of ramen, which could easily be divided up into 4 servings. But let’s face it…you’re gonna want a large bowl to slurp all to yourself!

thai chicken and baby cOrn sOup

Heat things up this Valentine’s Day since it’s bitter cold outside with this spicy corn soup!

Don’t like it hot? No problem, just remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano pepper or omit it all together…but if you really like it hot just add another pepper.

I absolutely love finding new and exciting soup recipes (or old recipes) and revamping them and experimenting with the ingredients…I’m always on the lookout for unique soups to try out. I’ve adapted this recipe from an old Homestyle Chicken cookbook I have to my tastes and I love it…a unique soup to add to my collection to make again and again!!

chicken and vegetable sOup

Breakaway from the traditional chicken noodle soup and try my newest recipe that is full of fresh veggies and tender chicken, and bonus…it’s dairy-free!

It’s officially freezing outside…to the point that my pups need little booties to go out to do their business. The cold seems to seep into your bones and you just can’t get warm enough. The only way to remedy that is to make a steamy homemade soup. I’m talking of making the stock and all from scratch!

Not only will you get more depth of flavor by making your own stock but you will warm up the kitchen. Each spoonful you eat will slowly unthaw you from the inside out…so try this new chicken and veggie soup and keep out the cold.

prOvençal vegetable sOup

This vegetable soup is full of flavor with fresh herbs that complement the homemade pea broth. It’s hearty and warms you from the inside out…perfect for fall and even winter months.

Move aside Italian pesto…French pistou is the new favorite under our roof! Seriously, we ate spoonfuls of it…the difference between pesto vs. pistou is that pistou is made with equal parts of basil and cheese combined with olive oil and garlic where pesto contains nuts….it’s a simpler version of pesto but in my opinion much tastier!
I first came across pistou making vegetable soup but it was such a hit that I can see myself adding it to all different dishes….more to come!
