Soups are such a huge part of my winter diet. There’s something about them that I find so comforting, especially on a cold winter night. One of my favorite vegetables to cook in a soup is winter squash, its sugary taste intensified when simmered with

Dearest readers, I have not forgotten about you, I promise. I know I haven’t been posting regularly, but I’ve been busy cooking freezer-friendly meals to heat up when the baby arrives, most of which I’ve also been photographing to publish on the blog. So now I have

There are a zillion ways to make a good carrot soup, but this one is by far my favorite. I still love my easy carrot parsley soup, but some nights I just crave something more exotic; especially when the weather starts getting really cold (like right now!). There’s something about coconut milk and lemongrass that makes me nostalgic about summers on the beach in Thailand, soaking up the sun while indulging in delicious food. Maybe that’s why I love this asian carrot soup; it makes me feel like summer is right around the corner when it’s still months away. Who wouldn’t want a spoon of that!?
