All my favorite soups begin the same way….with a classic Mirepoix (onion, carrot and celery). For our Cream of Tomato Soup, the mirepoix is primarily a flavor enhancer. In the end it’s pureed, but I couldn’t help but leave some texture in our creamy bowl of comfort. Continue reading »

I took a popular Chinese Take-Out dish and turned it into a healthy make at home meal. Our Kung Pao Chicken Soup is not sodium or MSG laden. Instead it’s packed with fresh aromatic ingredients and some classic Asian flavors. Continue reading »

I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat. In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both). Which makes for some great special occasion spreads. Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings. It was a good day. Continue reading »

Beef Bourguignon. Boeuf Bourguignon. Beef Burgundy. I think we grew up with this dish. No, not the first two. My Mom made beef burgundy often. The cuts of meat may have started out a bit tough requiring extra cooking love, but the end result was melt in your mouth wonderful. Continue reading »

I’m Libby with Lemony Thyme and the voice behind this blog, however I learned the fundamentals from a variety of sources. When I started this blog 2+ years ago, my family was supportive yet cautious. I’ll tell you more about that but first I must introduce a staple recipe, Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs. Fall off the bone beefy goodness. Continue reading »

Many years ago I went to Kansas City on a business trip. I was invited to dinner with a dear friend at one of the wonderful Steakhouses in town. I informed in advance that besides amazing steaks, this particular establishment was famous for their Steak Soup. Continue reading »

Rustic Potato Chowder with Bacon. After one bite I knew we would have to recreate it for Lemony Thyme. It’s hearty enough to enjoy as a meal and easy enough to become a weeknight favorite.

The cold weather season triggers something special in the brain. Whirling twirling ideas of how to make our favorite seasonal dishes even better than last year. Noooo I’m not referring to pumpkin recipes :) For me that something special would be soups. All kinds of glorious soups, of both the brothy and creamy persuasion. I took a good hard look at our Soups, Stews & Chilis category to see where there might be a void. Continue reading »

Someday I think I’d like to do an entire recipe series on ‘How to make this from that.’ In other words, how to enjoy dinner on day one, then turn the leftovers into a completely new meal (or two) the following days. Our Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust} is simply Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder with a heavenly layer of comfort baked on top. Continue reading »
