This is the third type of soup I’ve made this week. Can you tell that I LOVE the coolness of autumn, and the opportunity to make more substantial and comforting food? This has a little bit of heat, but is surprisingly simple and quick to make.

Poultry Seasoning Blend
I love making seasoning blends from scratch – curry powder, taco seasoning, you name it. Maybe it’s a control issue, a little defiance against over-priced packaging from the store, or the fact that I don’t plan far enough in advance to know every ingredient for my menu. Either way, custom-mixed seasoning blends are the way to go.
Curry Spice Blend
Making spice blends at home allows you to adjust flavours to personal taste, saves money, eliminates any preservatives, and it’s fun!
Italian Turkey and Ravioli Soup
The wind is howling, the temperature is dropping, the fire is crackling, the candles are glowing, and COMPANY IS COMING!
Farmers’ Market Soup
Contrary to popular belief, not all women like to shop. Some of us feel like pimply, awkward teenagers every time we walk into a mall, and our anxiety nearly blows through the roof. A trip to Macy’s can trigger hyperventilation (I love that word). But at least there is some order at Macy’s – black sweaters of every size hang on one rack. The next rack is a sea of bluejeans. I can handle that.
Creamy Turkey & Fennel Soup
I love Thanksgiving. The turkey, family gatherings, laughter, turkey, seeing in-laws and new generations, and I really love the turkey. In fact, I’m not a huge fan of all the stuffing, gravies, cranberries, or green bean casseroles. It’s mostly the turkey I go for.
