I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Thanksgiving Soup

All the fall things in a bowl! A savory selection of vegetables with a hint of sweetness from one red apple.


Ingredients:
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
5 carrots, unpeeled and diced
1 large sweet potato, diced
2 yukon gold potatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
1 apple, diced (I used Macintosh)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups beef broth
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp fresh minced ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dry thyme
dash of sea salt
pinch of cayenne
2 pinches of nutmeg
14 oz can coconut milk

Garnish with croutons and pumpkin seeds

In a large pot, sauté the onion in medium hot olive oil to soften, then add the garlic and ginger. Stir 1 minute then add the black pepper, thyme, salt, cayenne and nutmeg and cook 1 minute.
Add the carrots, sweet potato, potatoes and apple and stir together. Pour in the pumpkin purée and broth and bring to a boil. Then simmer about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.


Take ladlefuls of soup and purée in a food processor in batches until smooth.


Return the puréed soup to a large pot and add the coconut milk. Whisk together and heat through. 


Then serve with your choice of garnishes for texture and eye-catching interest!


I like garlic croutons and well...pumpkin seeds seemed appropriate 🎃


Serves 10


First course heading to the dining room!
