One more soup post! January must be soup month since I can’t stop talking about and sharing soup recipes with friends. During the winter months I make soup two (sometimes three) different kinds of soups every week. I find soup the perfect way to start a meal in the winter and it makes the best leftovers […]

Cauliflower Cilantro Soup
When everywhere you turn people are sneezing and coughing, you know that it’s officially soup season. This year seems to be a particularly nasty year for viruses. I’m fighting back with soup. Cauliflower and cilantro may seem like an unusual flavour pairing, but they both offer high nutrient content as well as a nice colour […]
Homemade Chicken Soup
When I recently came home from the hospital (bye,bye appendix) I craved soups. For the first week or so, I was very lucky to have caring friends and neighbours to drop food off almost daily. Two friends dropped off homemade chicken soup – both versions equally delicious and uplifting with some different ingredients. Their soups […]
Almond Coconut Granola
I first started making granola at home thanks to my friend Megan (and fellow Sunday Cooking Collective founder) who shared a simple and tasty recipe with me many years ago – Thank you Megan! After many tweaks and additions over the years, this is my go-to granola recipe. I make granola every two weeks or […]

The curry mix you use will make a big difference in the flavour and colour of the soup. Look for a curry that is mildly spicy, flavourful and […]

Chicken Stock
Chicken stock serves as the base in all kinds of soups, stews, risottos and sauces and is a great way to add extra nutrients and flavour to recipes. My Grandma claimed homemade bone broths help cure colds, build strong bones and aid digestion. She was right. When you’re under the weather there is nothing better […]
Butternut Thyme Cream Soup
While January is National Soup Month, I don’t know about you, but I don’t need a special reason to eat soup in the winter. After a day of playing outside on the mountain or in the park, we like to return home, fingers and toes chilled, to a cozy house and a warm bowl of […]
