Steak & Potato Soup was a sentimental entry, since it came from my husband Nick.
With winter ragging across most of the country, I posed this question on Facebook:
What is your favorite soup?
I received a nice variety of responses, which included some of my favorite soups like Broccoli Cheddar and Italian Wedding and others that I had yet to recreate at home.

If you love Roasted Greek Potatoes then you’re going to flip over these Greek Style Potato Wedges With Feta!
You know the kind that cook in the most delicious lemony garlicky broth!
I absolutely adore them and wanted to recreate a version to go with our Greek Chicken Burgers.
These lemony potato wedges have all the beautiful flavors of the classic roasted Greek potato recipe but are crispy like steak fries.

Growing up in beautiful New England was a blessing for so many reasons. The small town simple life made way for creativity and adventure. As kids we walked to school, rode our bikes to the lake, climbed ‘the mountain’ for fun, went to every Friday night basketball game, and loved our lobsters & chowders, grinders, maple syrup, and New England Boiled Dinners. Each year as we welcome in the Autumn season I think of soups and stews and pumpkins and foliage and New England.

Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs. Designed for breakfast, hearty enough for dinner, and really great leftover.
One benefit of food blogging is that from time to time we have to make a dish more than once. Especially if it’s a holiday themed recipe that needs to get out ahead of time. That’s exactly what happened this year in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day…times three. Yes, we cooked three rounds of corned beef between March 6th and March 17th. One for my New England Boiled Dinner post, one for my office St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, and one for us to enjoy on St. Patty’s Day.

Red Flannel Hash might be characterized as New England Boiled Dinner‘s better half. As the story goes, no Boiled Dinner is officially over until the last of the red flannel hash is served. And since no boiled dinner has ever been eaten in just one sitting, this heavenly hash is the icing on the cake if you will.

Sausage & Potato Soup with Spinach & Bacon could be the cousin of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. That however, was not at all my motivation for making this new recipe. Did I tell you the story of how we scored 30+ pounds of bacon and sausage?? Can you imagine the delight when this text message hit my phone.

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.
I was just having a conversation with a friend about how bacon makes everything better. I’ve shared before that we keep our bacon in the freezer. That way we always have some on hand and it’s easy to cut into pieces that cook quickly. Bacon adds wonderful flavor to this chowder, but feel free to omit for a vegetarian version. Leftover cooked new potatoes also contributed to the minimal effort required.

As I stepped out of my car I was greeted by the smell of bacon cooking. I walked through the door and found a sack full of fresh from the garden potatoes on the counter. Loaded Potato Soup was about to be born.
