The Most Amazeballs Soup You’ve Never Eaten: Potato Cheeseburger

February 9, 2015 By Food Retro

Hi Y’all! As you read this, I’ve decided to vacation someplace warm. I figure I kind of deserve it after getting a two foot dump of snow last Monday. I’ve got a few guest posts lined up, and I’ll be here and there, but since I probably won’t be doing recipe building while I’m stateside,…

Jar Noodles (Or, How to Make Your Own Instant Ramen)

January 12, 2015 By Food Retro

If you remember and liked my post about vegetable bouillon, then you possibly remember that I was hinting there was a method to my madness. Behold, the end result: the real reason why I was figuring out vegetable bouillon (although to be honest I like using it for making regular soup, too). It’s an integral…

Homemade Vegetable Bouillon

December 15, 2014 By Food Retro

If you’ve read my how-to on making vegetable stock, then you’ve probably got some idea how much stock I go through. I really, really like my version of vegetable stock (it’s far soup-erior to the store bought stuff, which usually tastes overwhelmingly of parsley), and I consider it to be the par of any good…

5 Things You’d Never Guess About Carrots (+ Carrot Ginger Soup)

November 17, 2014 By Food Retro

Secret confession: I’ve never had carrot ginger soup before. No, really. I like carrots, I like ginger. I don’t know why I’ve never combined the two before. Soup is a comfort food staple, to me, and I rarely mess with it. I have to admit though that as I’ve been getting older, I’ve been getting…

Carnation® Cream of Mushroom Soup

October 16, 2014 By Food Retro

I woke up the day I was leaving my conference, freezing my proverbial buns off, and had a moment of glee—after I stopped my teeth chattering. It’s soup season, baby! I love soup and I love it to the point where my husband keeps saying to me, “A man cannot live on soup alone.” Yeah,…

Creamy Vegan Four Grain Soup

January 20, 2014 By Food Retro

I made an awesome vegan soup. One that you can feed to all your carnivorous friends and they will like it. I know this because my husband had seconds of this recipe. He is always “meh” about soup, especially if it includes “hippie things” like wild rice. So, I’ve been bragging about my awesome vegan dish….

Vegetable stock

January 13, 2014 By Food Retro

Okay, I know it’s not a super exciting post. Whee, vegetable stock! It has to be done though because t’s a building block to great things, and the honest truth is that if you peel your vegetables and throw them in the green bin, or if you tend to discard things like the dinged up…

Broccoli Cheese Soup

December 4, 2013 By Food Retro

I hate frozen broccoli. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t discover this out until after I had bought a giant bag of organic frozen broccoli florets from Costco. Note to self: no matter how great a deal it seems, it’s a waste of money if you hate it. So… what to do with enough mushy broccoli…

Smoky Tomato Bacon Fennel Soup

November 4, 2013 By Food Retro

You may know that carrot, celery and onion make a great base for all kinds of soup and sauces. Did you know the mixture has a specific name? It’s called Mirepoix (meer-pwah) after the French Duke of Mirepoix. Common standard then in French cooking for the moniker to come from the aristocratic patron; the Duke…

Quick and Simple Shepherd Stew

October 11, 2013 By Food Retro

My grass-fed cow is set to hang on October 29, and I’ve been enthusiastically emptying my chest freezer in preparation.  Don’t worry, everything is going in our belly!  I have to admit though I’m a bit of a chest-freezer hoarder at times. As I’ve been making freezer space, I’ve been finding some hidden gems that…
