Hot & Sour Soup

September 2, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve gotten to where I make veggie sushi about once a week, or at least once every couple of weeks. This Hot & Sour Soup is an easy and delicious side to pair with the sushi. It’s super quick and easy to make all in one pot and it tastes even better than the one you order with take out. What’s even better is that you get to have control over just how hot or sour your soup is in the end.

I have seen a little difference in hot and soup soup out there. This one, to me, is more of a mixture between egg drop and hot and sour. I’m totally fine with that. I love egg drop soup as much as I do hot and sour. But, it is worth noting that you do DROP EGGS into this soup. It can be a scary thought, but I promise it’s easy peasy!…

One-Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

April 6, 2020 Amanda Plott

During hard times, sometimes you just need some good old-fashioned comfort food. I mean… this soup isn’t really old-fashioned, but Chicken Cordon Bleu is an older dish. Today I decided to give Chicken Cordon Bleu a bit of a twist and turned it into the soup. Yep, that’s right… everything you love about Chicken Cordon Bleu in a pot of soup. Right down to the dijon!…

Instant Pot Ramen Broth

March 15, 2020 Amanda Plott

The world is getting sicker and sicker and the only thing I could think that makes sick people feel better is soup. Not just any soup though. Ramen! I’ll be the first to admit that ramen has been a pantry staple for all of my life. It was an easy thing to make as a youngster. And a cheap thing to make as a college student and young adult.

In the most recent years though, my brother has introduced me to real ramen. You know, real authentic ramen and how it’s supposed to be made. Not the instant packs that we all know and love as a guilty pleasure…

One Pot Irish Potato Leek Soup

February 21, 2020 Amanda Plott

It’s been pretty cold and yucky here for the past few days and a nice rich bowl of some potato soup just sounded like the absolute perfect thing for dinner. A few weeks back my brother tried his hand at making a potato leek soup for dinner, and while it was good, there were a few tweaks that I wanted to make. Having two cooks in one house is a blessing and a curse.

I wanted my variation for the potato leek soup to be thick. Thick, rich, and all made in ONE POT. So, that's what I set out to do. What makes this an Irish potato soup? I honestly have no idea, other than it’s supposedly a pretty common dish in Ireland. And it’s easy to see why…

Beef Stroganoff Soup

Here in Texas, we’re known for our beef and nothing says ‘comfort food’ to me quite like beef stroganoff. So, I thought I would put the two together with a fun twist on a comfort classic! This Beef Stroganoff Soup is a one pot meal and comes together in under 30 minutes of cook time.

I love beef stroganoff because it’s a meal that everyone can enjoy, and turning it into a soup gives it a more guilt-free spin. It’s lighter but still perfectly warm and satisfying for when you want to dig into a classic comfort food. And as with most comfort foods, beef stroganoff is all based on just a few simple ingredients…

Healthified 'Swamp' Soup

January 30, 2020 Amanda Plott

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... whoops! Wrong story. Ahem. A long time ago, I made this heavenly soup for my family in the midst of winter and it was an instant hit! And it still is to this day. But, the post here needed some updating so here you go!

I've made the soup a few times over the years and each time seem to make it more and more my own. While the base of the soup remains the same, I've definitely built my own little swamp here.

This soup is pretty hearty and rather filling for being loaded with basically nothing but vegetables. And no, that isn't a complaint in the least. I love my vegetables almost any which way, cooked, raw, steamed, grilled, etc…
