We love Asian cuisine. There are so many delicious dishes you can quite easily recreate at home. Of course, it’s good to have an Asian supermarket nearby to get all the necessary ingredients…. not every »regular« supermarket necessarily has everything on hand that you need for those recipes. However, the ingredients for this delicious Coconut Red Curry Soup with Rice Noodles & Crispy Pork are not super exotic. Most of them are easy to find in regular supermarkets these days ;)
There are only a few soups that are great to make and to enjoy all year round. This delicious (Italian) Tomato Soup with Pasta & Meatballs is definitely one of these soups. It is simple, delicious and a great dish to cook in summer and winter. I have to admit there is a lot going on in this soup – veggies, plenty of meat and a lot of pasta. With all of that you will still not feel stuffed at the end. No need to take a break on the sofa for an hour… unless you want to ;P Other hearty winter soups often require a time-out because they are so rich and heavy on the stomach… not this one ;)
Are there any fans of lasagna out here? I assume there are quite a lot of people in the world that looove lasagna. I am one of them, of course! A big piece of lasagna with all those layers, flavorful ragù, béchamel, and loads of melted cheese…. is there anything better? Really… is there?! ;) This Lasagna Soup with Sausage & Spinach is not the real deal but flavorwise very close to the original. An easy soup you can prepare all year round!
We have a children’s story here in Germany called »Suppenkasper« from Heinrich Hoffmann – actually a tragic story about a boy that refuses to eat his soup and dies… classic uplifting German story for toddlers ;P Anyway. If you do not like soup you can be called »Suppenkasper« here in Germany but sometimes as well if you like it a lot. It’s a bit confusing, I know. This Cheesy Soup with Leek & Sausage is for all the »Suppenkasper« out there. The ones that like soup. Thick creamy soup with loads of stuff added ;)
If you are the type of person that does not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, something like a simple soup or stew is always a good choice. In a short time, you can prepare a delicious meal with a few simple ingredients that can feed a large family if you want to ;) This Vegan Chickpea & Potato Soup takes about 1 hour until it’s ready on the table, but the majority of that time you don’t have to do anything. You let the soup simmer away and actually do not even have to pay attention to it until it’s done ;)
Kohlrabi is quite popular in Germany, but it’s not growing here all year round. The season for Kohlrabi is through summer until October/November – the rest of the year you can still get it but from countries where it is a bit warmer all year round. My Kohlrabi Veggie Soup here has been waiting a while until being published here on the blog, to be honest. The soup in the pictures has actually been cooked last summer when I had Kohlrabi from our little terrace garden… ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
