Soups

I keep suggesting that we have soup (maybe sandwich) night at the house and play games, cards games. 

Joanne was talking about making soups and this favorite came to mind.

This is the Instant Pot version of Thai Coconut Carrot Soup, the Thai red curry paste gives it a warmth that soothes all the way down your throat.

Another version: Creamy Thai Coconut Carrot Soup! This savory, spicy soup is perfect for spring! Pureed carrots in a coconut-curry broth. Vegan & Gluten-Free.

Another favorite, Black Bean soup. Mom made it back in 2009. Here is an Instant Pot version

"Mom made this Black Bean Soup With Spinach soup tonight for dinner. Delicious. She used can beans. We decided she would chop the spinach into smaller bits. Topped with sour cream, lots of cilantro and a side order of warm corn tortillas with butter. ;0 Yummy. Served in my new china on sale at Crate & Barrel, made it taste even better." 

Another must to make - French Onion Soup.  

We have really been craving French Onion Soup and mom whipped up Julia Childs version last night. Perfect for a rainy, blustery night! You just MUST cook those onions until they are almost burnt! From this post way back in 2010.

Honey roasted parsnip soup is thick and creamy, with a touch of sweetness, and plenty of earthy parsnip flavor, sounds good. 

Red Lentil Soup with Lemon

I started mom a cooking blog, The Cook's Blog so many years ago but she lost interest pretty fast.  I really miss mom's cooking.

Then maybe Bloomin' brilliant brownies, Rich dark chocolate, nuts & sour cherries for dessert.

Got so hungry talking about soup, I broke out some of David's store bought lobster bisque with crab added.
