Black Bean Soup
This is a very flavorful soup that is quick to make with ingredients I usually have on hand. The recipe comes from one of my low-salt cookbooks where I have changed a few things.

Michigan Navy Bean Soup
I like to make this soup soon after I have made a ham dinner on Easter or any other time of the year. In the past I have used Honey Baked Ham bones, but this time I used a regular ham bone from the market. It was very salty even though I was careful about adding … Continue reading
Egg Drop Soup Two Ways
This is another recipe from my early Chinese cooking classes. A perfect light soup to fix before your main entree and was a frequent request by Gene. I have also included another recipe by Weight Watcher’s where shredded chicken is added. Hmm… never put chicken in this soup.
Soup Mix
There are 13 different beans and peas that go into this soup mix. Use whichever ones you like just end up with the same total amount when you are done. Certainly you could cut the quantities in half if you do not want to make this much. To be honest, I am not a lima … Continue reading

Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup
Tomato soup is another ‘comfort food’ for me, good old Campbell’s Tomato Soup, but when I want it to be really special I will make this.
Weight Watcher’s Vegetable Soup Two Ways
Both of these recipes are very good and even with the new point system in Weight Watcher’s the points value is still 0. One recipe uses a slow cooker. So, if I have a Banana Blueberry Muffin for breakfast I might have one of these soups for lunch. It is all about moderation and balancing the … Continue reading
Tomato Soup Concentrate
I had so many tomato plants when I had my big garden as I was always trying out new varieties in addition to growing my favorites so this was a great way to use up all of those tomatoes. The smell of the fresh tarragon is wonderful… Beautiful, fresh roma tomatoes! Just starting to cook… … Continue reading

This vegetable packed soup is full of nutrition and a perfect dish to eat on its own with some crackers for lunch. Or serve it for dinner with some good bread and a tossed salad. For a nice touch serve with Parmesan Crisps. I have included two recipes, one which is all Parmesan cheese and … Continue reading
