Pumpkin Soup With Crispy Smoked Pork and Chive Oil | Chris Cooks

Despite us beginning to share Christmas content, I'm here to tell you that pumpkin time is far from over; in fact, it's just getting started, and so am I. In years past, I've made pumpkin chili and pumpkin cheesecake, but it's time I've made a warm bowl of homemade pumpkin soup. This recipe is not […]

Pot Roast Pottage | Chris Loves Julia

Pot Roast Pottage | Chris Cooks

This is a great spin on a traditional pot roast, turning the cooking liquid into a rich and flavorful pottage (soup whose thick and creamy texture comes from cooked down vegetables) instead of straining and using thickeners to create a gravy. This whole meal is very allergy-friendly (free of grain, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts […]

Turkey Sausage & Potato Soup (dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free)

There's something about a big bowl of soup on a cool day that just feels so right. And one of my wife's favorites has always been creamy potato soup. Of course the classic version is made with cream and milk, thickened with flour, amped up with bacon and topped with cheese. We're not doing dairy, […]

Chris Cooks: Grain & Gluten Free Beef Stew

Recipes

Grain, Dairy and Gluten Free Beef Stew

Many stews can be thickened with flour or corn starch, but this version avoids all that and replaces it with crazy amounts of flavor! Sometimes beef stew can be cooked to death, so every bit tastes the same and has the same mouthfeel (that is to say, is mushy). I share some tricks for getting […]

Borscht with Braised Beef Short Ribs

My family lived in Donetsk, Ukraine for a spell when I was a young. There are so many things from our time there that I remember so vividly, and borscht is among the top. Borscht in Ukraine is like chicken noodle soup in America. We ate it multiple times each week, and though every person […]

Chris Cooks: Grain & Dairy Free Clam Chowder

Recipes

Grain, Gluten & Dairy Free Clam Chowder

Chowders are typically creamy soups thickened with corn starch or flour. Rhode Island Clam Chowder is not thickened, doesn't include cream, and is a great option for those who may love clam chowder but can't eat grains. And though it traditionally calls for butter, it can easily be made dairy free as well by subbing […]

My Best Chili Recipe: Grilled Pork Chili

I can officially say that I have created an "award-winning" chili recipe. Sure the award was a $25 gift card, and the competition was my office's yearly chili cookoff, but don't let the small venue fool you. I think this chili could handle any crowd, and their various tastebuds. It's a little smoky, a little […]

Light, Flavorful, Comforting. Let's Make Some Pho.

So it's a new year, and a fairly standard resolution is to eat healthier. That goes good for a few days, but pretty soon we remember that it's still the middle of freaking winter and we need warm, comforting foods for crying out loud. Well I can give you at least one option. It's called […]

Zuppa Toscana - One of My Favorite Soups. Ever.

We don't eat at Olive Garden often, but whenever I find myself there during colder months, I always get the bottomless soup, salad & breadsticks. And even though they have several soups to choose from, I always stick with the Zuppa Toscana because it is, far and away, the superior option. So imagine my joy […]

4 Courses to Love - Broth Seasoned with Pork + Vegetables

I've heard some people say they (and their significant other) don't celebrate Valentine's Day because they "prefer to show affection all year 'round!" ...didn't realize you had to choose between the two... To each their own, but Jules and I are always looking for an excuse to pamper each other, and what better time than […]

My First Crack at Italian Wedding Soup - Success

Before marrying Jules, I had never heard of Italian Wedding Soup. Julia's mom is full Italian, and there's a lot of heritage that comes along with that. Honestly I feel like I won the lottery when I married into Julia's family, but that's off topic. This post is about soup. And darn good soup. It's […]

Every year when the weather changes, I just get so excited. From October to December, we have my birthday, Halloween, our anniversary, Julia's birthday, Thanksgiving, […]
