Recipes for the week
Soup, soup, and more soup + reader favorites 🌞
Happy Souper Sunday. I hope you all had a great week and are feeling refreshed and ready for the week ahead. I am certainly not; I’d rather sleep in all week next week, but unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until my PTO the week after.
In the meantime, I have plenty of new soup recipes to carry you through the week plus a few reader favorites you may want to try.
First, I have new blog posts! I told you I was planning on keeping up with an actual blog, right?
First, I have my tale of tilapia. I made this last weekend, and now that I’m looking at it again, tilapia and creamy, dreamy basil gigante beans sound heavenly right about now.
Next, I thought you all might be interested in hearing how my toast brunch went. We had sweet toasts, savory toasts, and champagne toasts and it made for a really nice, low-key brunch party.
Today, I’ll be sharing my story of how I concocted the worst beef stew I’ve ever made, so check back later if you want to read a mildly devastating post. I still ate it for dinner last night…but I wasn’t happy. 😒
New Recipes
I have four new recipes to share with you. I think all of them are delicious, but I have to acknowledge my special fondness for the mushroom-potato soup recipe because it’s a throwback to a meal my Dad used to make for us growing up. Let’s dig in.
Mushroom-Potato Soup Recipe
This soup is a reference to an old-style Appalachian soup. You may be saying, “Pasta and potatoes? No ma’am.” At least, I’ve gotten several comments to that effect already. I encourage you to give it a go. It’s satisfying, comforting, and, honestly, the perfect thing you can eat on a cold winter day.
Chicken Meatballs in Arrabbiata Sauce
These herby chicken meatballs pair perfectly with piquant arrabbiata sauce. On a weekday, I reach for store-bought arrabbiata sauce, but feel free to throw together a homemade sauce if you feel up to it!
Saffron Chicken Noodle Soup
This recipe takes a humble rotisserie chicken and transforms it into a gorgeous, golden saffron chicken noodle soup. No saffron? No worries. Just add a little turmeric to get that golden color with a slightly earthier flavor.
Dashi-Marinated Pork Tenderloin Ramen
I recommend saving this one for Friday since it’s a bit more complex. The dashi-marinated pork tenderloin is a little sweet, super savory, and just a tiny bit spicy. It works perfectly with the salty, spicy ramen broth. The cherry on top? Shichimi togarashi sweet corn with plenty of fragrant scallions to tie everything together.
Reader Favorites
Creamy Spinach Pasta Sauce
Thank you for the wonderful comment, Liam! The kitchen mishap is a bummer, but that just means you’ll have to make it again to get even more of that sauce on the pasta!
Ginger & Maple-Dijon Pork Tenderloin
Thank you so much for the feedback, Dominique! This is one of my favorite pork tenderloin recipes and one that I riff on often. The ginger, maple, and mustard combination is a top-tier flavor profile for me!
Creamy Shrimp and Gnocchi
So happy this recipe was a hit, Chloe! If you need quick comfort with a twist, don’t miss this shrimp and gnocchi recipe. The hot honey adds just a little sumthin-sumthin to the creamy, rich sauce.
That’s all I’ve got for today! Hopefully, these seven recipes will keep you cooking all week long. If you make one of my recipes, drop a comment to let me know how they turn out; I’d love to hear from you. That’s all for now…byeeeee! 💖
