Brussels Sprouts Soup

So simple, so easy, so quick – a delicious budget-friendly brussels sprouts recipe for all you soup lovers out there.

I don’t know how is the weather like where you live, but in Düsseldorf (Germany) is getting colder as the winter approaches. Two days ago I even had to wear my winter coat, SO cold. Brrrrrrrrrr!

While I was planning yesterday my grocery list for next week, I took a quick look into my pantry to see what might be waiting to be used. So I found this medium-sized bag of brussels sprouts and I instantaneously knew that I had to try my boyfriend’s mom soup recipe. I am not sure it’s 100% Panamanian recipe, however, I promise you an unexpected delicious taste from only 5 ingredients such as onion, garlic, tomatoes, ginger and brussels sprouts. That’s all!…

Mushroom, Leek and Beet Soup

Just look at this beautiful chocolate brown color from the mushrooms, leek and beets – oh yeah! … here comes my new cream into your house. You’re gonna lick it off the bowl – tasty, earthy, satisfying!

Every year around this time, I find myself reflecting on the things I have accomplished and the many more goals that I still have in my heart.

So among a few things, I realized that I also needed to perfect the classic mushroom soup. Don’t get me wrong, I like mushrooms to that extreme that, if I ran out, the next day I would go grocery shopping. However, the classic mushroom soup has been always a bit too heavy for me mainly because it’s typically made with heavy cream.

I was looking for a lighter version, yet delicious and satisfying. With that in mind, I decided the other day to go to the market….

Creamy Broccoli Cayenne Soup

November 11, 2014 by Cris 6 Comments

YES, it tastes exactly how it looks – SO DELICIOUS! And you only need three humble ingredients for this creamy soup – the sisters from the allium vegetables (leek, onion and garlic), broccoli and pumpkin seeds – and, of course, about 10 minutes of your precious time.

How many times have you tried to convince yourself that eating healthy is bland?! Come on, I hear it all the time, every single day. However, as much as I hate to break it to you, that’s not entirely TRUE!

I know that this family “brassica oleracea” which includes broccoli, kale, cauliflower, brussels sprout and so on tends to shy people away from them for its sulfur proprieties, right?! I can’t blame you for that, I experienced it myself. Sometimes it can be very unpleasant….

Soup à la Mom

So sweet, so tender, so tasty … My mom will be so proud of me – chicken soup with veggies and homemade egg noodles.

I don’t know how is the weather like in your country, but here it is getting colder as the winter approaches. The other day I had to wear my winter coat. So this early cold weather calls for my mom’s best soup. I named it this way because she simply loves it. And I miss her.

I am not gonna lie to you I think she cooks it every week. However, she does it not because her food repertoire is not broad enough, but because of its simplicity and delicious taste….

Did you know that in Romania we have Coke with garlic for tourists??? :)) Don’t be scared and run away yet … This soup may sound and look a bit too modest to you, however, I promise you a rich in flavors soup that won’t last a whole day!

Are you still in here as I have a great traditional Romanian soup to tell you about in a little while so that you can have it along with this Coke? :) As the other day I came across this picture on a website called Know Your Meme, I realized that I haven’t even gone into many details about myself….
