Red soup (Asian inspired veggie soup)

Soups are always a good idea for a light meal. I like making soups for dinner. Also because they are perfect for throwing in any leftover veggies you find in the fridge. I can’t think of any vegetable soup combination that has not worked so far. Since I prepared the Assam Laksa dish the other…

Malaysian Assam Laksa

Malaysians like their laksa soup. We would most likely call it a  noodle soup, yet I would argue that laksa has a quite distinct taste because of the spices added to it. Little did I know that there were different types of laksa until I travelled to Borneo this winter. To me, the traditional laksa version…

Quick lunch idea: Yellow soup

This blog was born with one idea in mind: To share and spread the amazing array of food styles and tastes that I have experienced during my travels. Even today, any time I discover a dish I haven’t yet tasted, I go for it. I am way to afraid that I could miss out on…

Kale potato soup

Green is “in” in many ways, especially in combination with a healthy nutrition. Many recipes these days feature kale as a “wunder” ingredient. Kale has many green friends. Salad, broccoli, cucumber, spinach, brussels sprouts, you name them. I have to admit that the first time I read about kale was in the States and then…

I am not a fan of cold temperatures and the transition from summer to fall but when I go to a farmer’s market and see the piles of pumpkins that are displayed I get happy and can’t resist to take one or two home with me. Pumpkin soup is one of my favorite soups and…

Vegan bread soup

We are almost halfway through with our Vegan challenge, yupiiieee! I can tell you, there are days when it ain`t that easy, especially for me as a cheese lover. And for my taste soy yoghurt doesn`t perfectly match regular yoghurt. But hey, we are doing this for a reason and I have to say that…

Chorizo soup

Next time you’ll be in search of a quick lunch that is a good alternative to fast food, I might have the right recipe for you. In principal, this is how you make it: Boil some veggies, process them in a blender, add water or milk, season to taste and add some slices of chorizo…

Ginger-Chili-Carrot Soup

This recipe is an ad-hoc recipe that I have prepared with my friend Mailin for dinner after a long week at work. It’s just the right thing for a hungry belly, you can prepare it in 30 min. The taste reminded me a little bit of Laksa, the famous Malay dish, that is served with…

Chinese sweet & sour soup

Having spent a year of my life in China, I have had the opportunity of tasting a wide range of specialities, from camel feet in the Gobi desert, over frog legs and duck tongues in Shanghai, to fried worms in Kunming. Yuck, some of you might think. Worth the experience I would say! For me,…
