Soup's On! Recipes & More

 When the weather is this cold, nothing sounds better than a cup or bowl of homemade soup. It's real comfort food, and will warm you up in no time.  I'm in the mood for some right now. These are the recipes that tempted my taste buds. Enjoy!

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup

First of all, this soup has no cream or milk in it at all. It gets the creaminess from the cauliflower after it is roasted. There's also 1/3 cup of greek yogurt in it. Healthy and delicious? Count me in.

Broma Bakery

Salsa Verde Tortilla Soup

This recipe calls for lots of veggies, seasonings, chunky red salsa, smoky salsa verde, and oodles of toppings. If you add chicken or shrimp, it becomes a delicious main course.

Half Baked Harvest

The Best Lentil Soup

I haven't tried this one yet, the title is the  recipe author's. But it sure does look hearty and delicious. I might swap out the carrots for sweet potatoes. They are equally healthy. The sweet potatoes will add a touch of sweetness for balance.

Love and Lemons

Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup

Hearty and vegetarian, this soup is best enjoyed with  crusty warm bread. It's made with bella mushrooms, heavy cream, greated parm, carrots, wild rice and plenty of seasoning.

Dishing Out Health

Feel Better Chicken Soup

You have heard of "chicken soup" for the soul. Well, this recipe is "chicken soup" for what ails you. The chicken soup that I make is much like this, except there is added turmeric powder. And you simply can't put enough lemon or garlic in it. I have cured Covid with this recipe!

Feasting at Home

Simple Seafood Bisque

This recipe looks, feels, and tastes super fancy. Yet it takes zero fuss. I will add that it is ultra rich with butter, heavy cream, and half and half. It wouldn't be bisque without it!

The Modern Proper

The Perfect French Onion Soup

My favorite soup of all time. This recipe is really quite simple. And of course gooey Gruyere cheese is involved!

What's Gabby Cooking

You will find a great set of Mini Individual Copper  Cocoettes at Williams Sonoma on sale!

Brie & Cheddar Butternut Squash Beer Soup

This soup is made for dipping and dunking soft pretzels! Besides all of the gooey cheese, there are veggies, too. I think I have to make this soon.

Half Baked Harvest

Fully Loaded Baked Potato Soup

If you love a loaded baked potato, you will enjoy this recipe. In fact, the entire family will love it.

What's Gabby Cooking

Souped Up Tomato Soup

It's safe to say the I "soup up" everything I make. Following a recipe to the teaspoon is not my thing. So naturally, this recipe caught my eye. But I would not change a thing about the side of grilled cheese!

Food52

If you are serving Soup & Sandwich like the recipe above, Crate & Barrel has a stylish porcelain set on sale.

Corn Chicken Chowder

Another soup that uses Geek Yogurt instead of heavy cream or flour to thicken this soup. So we can call this creamy concoction healthy!

Well Plated

Sur La Table has an Immersion Blender on sale. They are very handy in making creamy soups.

Spicy Peanut Soup With Sweet Potato and Kale

This soup is comforting and simply delicious. And if you don't care for kale, like me, just swap it our for spinach. It features coconut milk, peanuts and peanut butter. I'm sold!

Like Paris, Chanel is always a good idea, right? Is anyone else having trouble getting back in the swing of things after the holidays?  We will get back to normal next week. Please enjoy this first "weekend wrap up" of 2025. 

What price beauty? Has anyone tried Hermes Lipstick? I love the packaging and the colors. Just trying to get past the hefty price.

Speaking of beauty, I finally found what I think is the Goldilocks of Concealers. It's Nars Cosmetics  "Soft Matte Complete Concealer." It's creamy but not so much that it fades away. It has full coverage, and lasts all day. I use this under foundation. Over foundation I am using their Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla. I love the very slight glow. You can also purchase these concealers at Nordstrom where they ship fast for free.

How To Layer Necklaces. I love the look, but I hardly ever wear a necklace, let alone an array of them at one time. Nordstrom really breaks it down with a video and detailed story.

Wiggle Wiggle. These switch plates come in six colors and are just so fun. They will add a bit of whimsy to any room. Anthropologie

The Goop List: 59 Exceptional Restaurants ( Worth Traveling For ) Happy to say that our dear friend's restaurants, Penny & Claud NYC are included!

Vow to get organized in the new year? These bins and baskets from Wayfair will get the job done with style! Prices start at $20.

Since the Golden Globes are on this Sunday, let's look at globe fashion over the years: The Best Golden Globes Looks Of All Time, according to Vogue

Fabulous flats: I have my eye on these Schutz glam flats. They are suede with all over crystal acacents. Loving the soft pointed toe, too. Get them while they have all sizes available. A best seller at Shopbop.

 Where did you get those Peepers? Don't miss this great sale on readers. Can one have too many? I don't think so. At$13.80 they are priced better than  drug store styles. 

Cashmere Chic: Love cashmere? Naadam Cashmere has a great promotion going on. Spend $275 now and get $125 for a future purchase.

Light my fire! The absolute most beautiful candle ever made are the three wick candles by Michael Aram. The scents are luxurious, too. Gilt has them on sale. Were $75 (everywhere) Now $50

Pretty in Pink: have you noticed all of the crop tops in fashion? Not all of us want to show our midriff. With that being said, I still think this look is darling for some. I personally would wear the skirt with a shorter black cardigan. See the look at Free People.

Mocha Mousse Without The Calories!

Chocolate Mousse is my all time favorite dessert. But brown has never been my favorite color. I own one brown item!  It's a chic coat given to me by a dear friend. The Pantone "Color of the Year," is rich with an earthy refinement. I might add it is also a bit light and fluffy, just like mousse. 

Oscar De La Renta Leather Midi

One of my favorite dresses ever! It's on pre-order from the Spring Summer Collection. Crazy expensive, but you only need to put 50% down to order.

Moda Operandi

Bibi Lou Fur Pumps

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about these unique kitten heels. Probably not practical, but I have included them for their fun factor.

Anthropologie

Miller Knit Top

It's all about the sleeves in this look. It's under $90.

I own this bag in black. The gold hardware really elevates this hands free carryall. It's perfect for running errands, dog walking, heading to the gym, and so much more. It's on sale!

Lululemon

Dogtooth Man Pant
Once you get past the bad name for this garment, you will see how really good the look is. I'ts perfect if you don't want to wear full on Brown. It's on sale. too. 

Me + Em

L'Agence Sky Sweater

Selected for those strong shoulders and chic crystal buttons.

From the best (IMHO)designer of faux fur. It's plush and lush.

Shopbop

Vince Silvana Suede Zip Booties

With a sleek silhouette and very comfortable footbed, this suede bootie checks all of my boxes.

Neiman Marcus

Kenlie Dress
I've grown quite fond of this brand, and only discovered it last year. It's not inexpensive, but the style is so good. A chic choice for a Winter wedding. Available in other colors, too.

Simkhai

Cynthia Rowley Gold Flower Belt
A good belt will last forever. I have one very much like this from the 70's. This will add so much to a simple outfit.
