After a day of canning tomatoes with my good friend, we discovered one of the jars didn’t seal and it needed to be used this week. With the cooler weather rolling in, I decided chili was definitely the way to go. Overflowing with fresh, spicy peppers, and hearty tomatoes and kidney beans, this chili is sure […]
5 Can Chili
This may be the best soup recipe ever for busy families. From the time you open the first can to the time you ladle out a serving is about 15 minutes. Not. even. kidding. I let mine simmer for a good hour, but that only enhances flavor and/or gives you a huge cushion until dinner […]
Sweet Heat Chili (Slow Cooker)
When I came across this recipe on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe, I immediately wanted to try it. Normally, when it comes to chili, I totally wing it and end up with a new recipe each time. I LOVE it. But there was something special, something unique about this recipe, so I did my best to follow […]
Salsa Soup
I came up with this recipe on a whim. After church on Sunday, we were trying to figure out what to eat. I wanted something serving-worthy as my mom was here for the weekend, and I wanted something warm and comforting as it was 45 degrees outside. I decided to make a pot of soup. […]
Spicy Italian Sausage Chili
I was heading up a big fundraising event for our youth group. The Church-wide Chili CookOff and Softball Night. Everyone was encouraged to bring their best pot of chili. And winner would go home with a $10 Applebee’s gift card! Though I had been planning and plotting this event for months, one thing never occurred […]
Taco Chili
When I saw a recipe for Taco Soup on a great recipe blog called For the love of cooking I new I needed to try it. The recipe ingredient list was filled with items I keep on hand and the techniques were simple. I am so glad I put this on our menu right away. […]

Italian Vegetable Stoup
I had a thick, hot, soul warming soup in mind as the snow fell to the ground. I pictured a cross between a chili (minus the meat), minestrone, and vegetable soup. I believe this was exactly what I was looking for. Kevin and I agreed it needs to be more spicy, more depth of flavor, […]

Spicy Chorizo Chili
After church today we were both craving something warm and soothing from Panera. But I always have a hard time choosing to go somewhere and pay $5 for a bowl of soup that I could make at home…and a whole pot for that same price! So I set to work developing something that suited our […]
