Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup
To go from 75 degree days (well some of them were 50s) to less than 10 degrees overnight was tough. We had even originally planned to spend a few extra days in Georgia or Tennessee because my son had a college interview he had to be online to attend from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm….
Slow Cooker Pasta e Fagioli
This soup is more stew like than soup. Part of my family are not fans of soups for dinner. It is a texture issue. They want to chew their meal. So, this is a bit of a compromise. This hearty “soup” is a cousin to minestrone. Thicker than minestrone and with lots of beans and…

Beef Barley Soup Slow Cooker
The cold has returned to Michigan. Not much snow here other than the banks around the driveways and one the roadsides. I can actually see grass on my front lawn in February? That is pretty much unheard of. I do know that if things follow the usual path we will have at least 2 more…
Roasted Turkey Soup
It is coming to that time of year when colds and flu are going to be everywhere. I love having a big batch of soup on hand in the freezer to pull out on those days when my family is starting to feel a little yucky. This soup freezes well, tastes and smells amazing when…
