This soup was always my favorite when I was a child. As I grew up, my grandma gave me the recipe, but she used a product called soup starter for most of it I found. I wanted a more scratch soup with basic ingredients. I think I nailed it! Now its my son's favorite soup too!

This is the only soup I make without meat, The recipe itself is extremely easy for those busy days. It is one of my favorites. It has a rich flavor that will have you wanting more.

Fish soup is a nice spicy Cajun soup that can be eaten as is or over rice. This receipe has been modified for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is low FODMAP having onion and garlic replaced with other spices. Note, if you don't have IBS follow directions using garlic. The Asafetida Ground is an Indian spice used to replace garlic. It's hard to find, but you can get it on Amazon.com :)

Its my favorite dish. It is a dish that was discovered in Nigeria and it is still prepared in Nigeria under the name Okazi leaf soup. It is very tasty and enjoyed by 80% of Cameroonians.

If you walk into our house between September and May Kath, aka mom, has a pot of soup simmering on the stove or leftovers in the fridge ready for a snack. Tortellini soup is always a favorite and this recipe, introduced to us by a family friend, is the perfect quick weeknight dinner packed with veggies that warms you from top to bottom.

For a lover of veg.soup who emphasized on 'extra meat'

I like to add a handful of fresh Spinach to my bowl of soup. Croutons can always add a nice touch, as well. I hope you enjoy this recipe, as much as I do.

My workplace has this soup every Friday. I didn't just want to wait till Friday of the following week to have the soup so I hunted a recipe down! A mention about the lemon grass, remove the outer layers, finely chop a length about 4-5 inches long, then chop it again! Or put it in one of those mini choppers if you have one.. you want it as finely chopped as possible. And last but not least, thank you as always to my hubby for the photography of my cooking!!

This is a very simple and light soup that pairs perfectly with braised meat or fish dishes. A subtle, hearty soup that is refreshing to the palate.

My mom used to make this soup for me whenever I was sick. It would always make me feel better. Makes about 8 cups of soup
