Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup

October 22, 2024 by Anne Leave a Comment

Dad likes this homemade cream-of-chicken soup, which also happens to be low carb. We found the recipe originally on Easy Low Carb’s website, and it really is easy to make.

Poor Man’s Beef Barley Soup

November 17, 2023 by Anne Leave a Comment

My children think of this EASY soup as comfort food, because the recipe has been passed down from great-grandmothers and grandmothers to them. I enjoy serving it in the spring, to remind us of the barley harvest in Israel. Most people probably make this with beef stew meat or leftover roast. My grandmother didn’t always…

Get Well Soup

December 21, 2010 by Anne

A version of this recipe was made popular by doctor and author, Henry Bieler. I’ve been making it at my house for several years now, whenever I need extra energy, maybe because I’m getting sick or recovering from childbirth.
