It’s only the first week of January and I am already sick of winter. It is just so cold out there lately that it is getting very hard to leave the warmth of my apartment and brave the snowy and icy streets. There is one good thing about this weather though – it’s soup season!…

Creamy Mushroom Soup Makeover
I’ve been polling. It turns out 100% of all How to Eat followers polled want to see a new soup recipe. OK, perhaps that’s a bit misleading. I polled one person and she wanted a soup recipe, which I thought it was a really good idea. So I stopped polling and made soup. A knock your socks…

You’ve probably hit the upper limit of turkey eating by this point eh? Now that the drumsticks have been picked clean and that wishbone’s been cracked, it’s time to say farewell to those Butterball remains. But first! We make stock. I am rarely more pleased when I want to make a soup, stew or risotto and I…
