This recipe is going into my upcoming soup cookbook, but y’all need it now. New Year’s Day is just around the corner, and I bet none of us can afford to miss out on either money or luck. Black Eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup is a delightful way to cover your (ahem) bases....
Chili for a Crowd (plus Indoor Hotdogs)
***HALLOWEEN EDITION*** Chili for a Crowd is an easy but delicious classic ground beef and bean chili. It’s pleasantly lively but not too spicy, so it works well for all ages. Chili for a Crowd regularly accompanies important football games and Christmas parade...
Fresh Roasted Tomato Soup
It’s summertime in Baldwin County, Alabama, and I hope you’re absolutely inundated with fresh local tomatoes. And when it gets too hot for tomatoes on the coast here in a minute, I hope you’ll buy silly amounts of Sand Mountain, Alabama tomatoes, which are the next...
Chicken Tortellini Soup
Everybody in my universe tells me they love chicken noodle soup. I totally get it, and I like to think of it this way: rich, flavorful stock, tender carrots and celery, lemon zest and juice, dill and parsley, and plenty of tender white meat chicken. Plus pillowy...

I first made this soup ages ago when I needed to use up some kale. Now, I’m not especially fond of kale, in fact I pretty much loathe all cooked greens. What I am inordinately fond of is beautiful produce, and I have been known to bring home all sorts of pretty...
Summer Corn Chowder
Silver Queen corn season in Baldwin County, Alabama, has loomed large in my mind as long as I can remember. As a kid I loved corn on the cob--I still do--and in our family we never, ever, ever, had that kind of corn on the cob that came pouring out of a white grocery...

Cure Anything Chicken Noodle and Turmeric Soup
This is easily one of my very favorite soups. As tasty as this simple soup is, you should know that it’s also a miracle.
