Vegetable Tom Yum Soup
This is a vegetable version of the classic Thai Tom Yum soup. You can find lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal (a close relative of ginger) at any Asian supermarket. If you can't find the lime leaves, you can add extra lime juice to taste, but do try to find the lime leaves because they make a big difference. It tastes just like my local Thai restaurant!
Ruth's Red Lentil and Potato Soup
I made up this lentil potato soup recipe one chilly weeknight to stave off a cold. I was surprised at how delicious the soup was! The filé powder makes it nice and thick, but it may be left out. A warm loaf of sourdough bread is all you need to complete your meal!
Watermelon Sangria
This watermelon sangria is one of my favorite summer cocktail recipes. If you love watermelon and white wine, you'll love this fruity drink on a hot day!
