Awesome Laurie! Let us know your favorites!
I loved this broth and used it to make soup with a can of chickpeas and added veggies. It was delicious and filling. I wish I had read ahead about freezing some of the broth. I ended up adding ingredients and used the whole batch we ate over a few days, but next time will freeze some!
Thanks Cindy!

Hi Sylvia,
Some of the recipes in this list only link to an image and not to the actual recipe?
and I’m hungry just looking at the pictures.
Alex, sorry about that… I will fix the photos– and there are links below.
the link for the LEMONGRASS COCONUT BROTH WITH COD AND SPINACH just takes me to a picture of the soup, not to the recipe.
I just fixed it….sorry about that!
All of these soups look delightful! I cannot wait to try some of them. That instant pot tortilla soup is high on my priority list!
Aww thanks Ashely…..love what you are doing over on your blog!
Hi Sylvia. Happy New Year! I love your website! Have made a couple of the recipes (a new viewer) and they really hit the spot. I would like to print more of them to make, but I am not able to get them to do that. Some will and some won’t. Was hoping you had tips or hints on why that is and how to solve that. No need to address this while you are on vacation, please let it wait until you get back. Thanks, Chloe
Hey Chloe, if you happen to remember which ones haven’t printed I will try to fix them. 🙂 I switched recipe plug-ins- but majority of them are still on the old version. Playing catch up!!!
Ok I found them and fixed them…sorry about that!!!
Thanks for the many soup choices. I’m a personal chef in in north San Diego county. And offer my services through doctors. You healthy soups are fantastic. When changing an eating regime for health’s sake can be a very tasty experience And the patient/client is happy being on a delicious ride back to health. Thanks so much.
