Soups & Stews

Creamy dairy free tomato and red pepper soup is naturally gluten and dairy free and bursting with summertime flavor. If there’s one soup that fits in this time of year, this tomato soup is it. Made with fresh tomatoes, sweet red peppers, lots of aromatics and soaked cashews for that ultra creamy vibe. A super…

Thanks to cashew cream, this creamy dairy free chicken and cauliflower rice soup is so creamy and delicious that you would never know it was dairy free! Made with all the same flavors of a classic chicken and rice soup, but paleo, and whole30 friendly for a satisfying and healthy meal.  Well here I am…

The best paleo bean free chili! This crazy delicious chili is not only bean free (making it paleo and whole30 friendly), it’s also loaded up with a rainbow of veggies – carrots, celery, onions, peppers, tomatoes, fennel and garlic that deliver serious flavor and mega nutrition!  I am pretty sure Seattle is confused about what…

Anyone else feel like they’re still unwinding from the holiday? While I love love love spending time with friends and family and sharing good food, it always takes me awhile to get back into the groove of things afterwards. There are some things that have been helping me get back into the flow – exercise,…

Ahhh I’VE MISSED YOU! How did we go from rocking it out with easy dairy free cauliflower mac and cheese last week to not talking until now?! It’s my bad, I know. Somewhere in between travel and catching the worst head cold I’ve had in forever I just sort of lost some traction. It happens,…

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…
