I love soup in the wintertime. It’s pretty much the only thing that is reasonable to eat when it’s 30 degrees out, amiright? This soup is one of my favorites. It’s hearty and delicious and tastes even better the next … Read More

Let’s face it: when you’re having a baby, people try to convince you that you need a whole heck of a lot of crap. Bouncy seats and matching sheet sets and changing tables etc. etc. I’m sort of a minimalist … Read More
I promised you cake, and cake you shall have. (But better quality, in-daylight photos? That would require not only foresight, but also restraint on my part.) I’m usually not the biggest cake person. I generally prefer brownies and PIE. And … Read More

(adapted from here)
2 T oil
1 onion, diced
2-3 carrots, diced
4 cups broth or water
4-5 medium potatoes, peeled & diced
2- 4oz cans diced green chiles (I love the fire roasted ones at Trader Joe’s, if you can get them)
2 cans corn
Salt & pepper to taste
Pinch of cumin & cayenne
Shredded cheese for serving
1. Heat oil and saute onions until translucent. Add carrots and cook one minute. Add water or broth, potatoes, and green chilies and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or spatula enough to thicken and combine soup, but leaving them a bit chunky for texture. Add corn and spices. Simmer for several minutes until flavors have melded.
3. Let cool a few minutes (so milk doesn’t curdle) and add milk to desired creaminess. Serve with lots of shredded cheese.
