Our CSA lately has provided us with mass quantities of greens. As in, my entire bottom shelf of my refrigerator is filled with them. This recipe uses none of them, but it did make a dent in the head and … Read More
N’s been saying he wants to be an astronaut for Halloween for a couple of months now. I mostly ignored him for a while because I’m the sort of mother who values listening to her child. But really, there was … Read More
Usually I’m pretty domineering about what we eat for dinner. My way or the highway, fam. But I figured I could allow N to choose his own birthday meal. (I know you are v. curious for my tips on how … Read More
Yes, another panzanella. But this time it’s warm! And has squash! And maple syrup! And goat cheese! (I am a bastion of originality.) It’s similar, yes. But all of us kept saying, “OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO GOOD” so … Read More
Why, hello! Welcome back to me from not-on-earth’s-face. Well, another side of it, anyway. We had a lovely trip to Chicago for a dear friend’s wedding and to Utah to spend lots of time with Grandma & Grandpa (and eat … Read More
Here’s a little post I did over on Janssen‘s blog about some of my favorite things to do in Philadelphia! (Spoiler: it mostly revolves around food.)
Until her party this weekend, it didn’t quite seem true that my baby is ONE. But now she is! Because those 48 hours and cake made all the difference. The day of her birthday was so so gorgeous out. We … Read More
Even with meal planning, there are days when I just get behind or failed to plan ahead or am just plain feeling lazy. This is the meal that I make on those days. It’s quick (30 minutes to the table), … Read More
It will probably shock you to hear that I’m not the biggest muffin fan in the world. Usually they’re too sweet, too bready, too sticky, too…something. Evidently I am pickier than I thought. But these MUFFINS. Gracious. A few weeks … Read More
Early this year, some mom friends and I decided to start a little joy school, or a coop toddler preschool class, once a week. We all had kids of similar ages, and we planned to each teach one week a … Read More
As I don’t yet have any kids in real school, anytime someone laments that summer is over, I just want to grab them and say, “It’s NOT OVER! We have three more weeks! Don’t steal my summer!!” Ahem. It’s possible … Read More

I am a sucker for tomato soup. Paired with grilled cheese sandwiches, it’s the vegetarian equivalent of comfort food. I’ve been trying to settle on a simple creamy tomato soup recipe I love. I wanted something I could throw in the crockpot or Instant Pot, a recipe that deepens the flavors and isn’t just the same thing as letting it simmer on the stove for half an hour.
And this creamy tomato soup recipe is it. It’s ridiculously fast to put together, perfect for the slow cooker or Instant Pot, and most importantly, so so delicious. I know we’ll be eating it all winter long.
1/22/20 Edit: I first shared this recipe over 6 years ago, and we’ve continued to make it consistently ever since. Our kids love it. Our 9 year old makes it as one of his meals our kids can prepare by themselves. It’s gotten rave reviews from every single person to whom we’ve served it (which is a lot). It really is the best.
Many times when we make this, we add in a bag of frozen tortellini or ravioli. If you’d like to do the same, cook the tortellini separately according to the package instructions, and add a big scoop to each bowl when serving.
