Hello soup lovers! It's Sunday and I have decided to make soup a weekly thing, so from now on we'll be having Soup Sunday! Homemade soups are totally delicious and utterly versatile. A chilled soup will make for a simple, Cook ahead starter for any dinner or lunch party. You can use chicken stock to make this soup but vegetable stock makes it great for vegetarians and even vegans, skip the buffer too and use coconut oil or olive oil. A quick tip when it comes to stocks especially homemade ones is to freeze in ice cube trays then once frozen solid you can pack the cubes in freezer bags. Then dilute them in water before using. That way you always have stock in hand to make your soups. Since this is a chilled soup, you can pour into a rigid plastic container, leaving head room for expansion, then label and freeze. To serve warm, just reheat, stirring frequently until heated through. 

Cooooookies... Chocolate cookies.. I feel like the cookie monster! Oh yeah, Happy New Month! Its September people! I don't know why I am so excited but this is the mood I want to start with hoping it is infectious until the end of the month. So new month, new recipes. My theme for last month that featured avocado recipes sort of brought back all the cooking juices that had somehow evaporated into the daily life of this daily grind that we call life. Still my need to be in the kitchen overrides every emotion I might have been having before. And what better way to start the new month than with chocolate, chocolate cookies to be precise. Add coconut, honey, butter, vanilla and you have foodie garsms right there! So let's get into the chocolatey goodness of it all
