Soups & Stews

Hey guys! Back again with September’s guest blog post for Bitte, a small batch and artisan children’s online store that offers clothing and toys that are unique and built to last. Run by mother and daughter duo, Maia McDonald Smith and Sara McDonald, their store and blog embody many similar values as Nyssa’s Kitchen, and I’m thrilled…

Guys! Seattle is still sitting RIGHT on the middle of the fence with this whole nice weather business. My solution? Gingered pork soup with green spring vegetables and szechuan broth! It’s the perfect way to warm up AND indulge in some of the new spring vegetables that are making their way into our markets. Because…

This bowl = my heaven. Royal pho broth with cabbage ribbons and vietnamese spiced pork meatballs, you have my heart. Since giving up most grains I haven’t been dining out for as many meals as I used to, and definitely I have not been indulging in big bowls of steaming pho with long slurp worthy…

I was hesitant to share this recipe with you because it’s so simple, but simple isn’t always bad, and in the case of this simple sipping broth with a poached egg, simple definitely = good.     Last weekend I got to spend a few days in Portland with a couple of my best babes…

My favorite part about winter? All the SOUPS! And I am so excited about this soup recipe! Thai carrot and sweet pepper coconut soup with cilantro pesto that’s paleo, and can easily be made dairy free + vegan. The flavors sing like a ray of sunshine in the cold days of February and really are…

The days are getting longer as we slowly inch closer to spring, but I’m still all about that soup life. Particularly, slow cooker crispy carnitas soup! Yessss. It’s kind of like a glorious meeting between a crispy carnitas taco and a spicy, brothy mexican tortilla soup, and it’s totally perfect for your mid-winter soup appetite. Plus!…

nothing says hiii fall 👋🏼 quite like a big bowl of kimchi and buckwheat noodle egg drop soup. even on sunny days, here in Seattle, the crisp chill has crept into the air and the leaves have changed to stunning tones of red, yellow and orange. pumpkin spice and cinnamon apple everything are everywhere. my (sweater-clad) arms…

give me all the green things!  👈🏼 yes I am that girl. I will search out a city’s best salad, could eat a giant bowl of braised greens with a fried egg pretty much any night of the week for dinner, and I recklessly throw handfuls of kale and spinach into my smoothies like it ain’t no…

dear rainbow coconut curry noodle soup with chicken, I am totally in love with you. and when my friends get to know you, I think they’ll love you too. even though the pictures of you are kind of blurry because it’s february and there is practically ZERO light coming through my window even at high…

let’s talk about soup. specifically, this creamy potato and parsley soup. also known as the winter food mascot, also known as a hug in a bowl, also know as the best dinner ever! ok I’ll stop… but seriously. perfection. especially on a wednesday in the middle of winter. and we don’t even have it that…
