Hearty Potato Soup

  The simplest things in life are often the best. Which is precisely why this soup really needs no introduction. Not a long introduction, that is. Potato soup is one of the most simple, yet comforting and hearty soups out there. It’s also a versatile soup; you can make it taste different every single time by adding varying ingredients such as: leeks, celery, thyme or even rosemary. You can also…

    Cheesy Onion Soup

    Sometimes I really need a splurge meal. I guess we all do every now and then. Now in stead of heading over to Mc Donalds to stuff myself with a 5000 calorie burger (I like to exaggerate every now and then), I prefer whipping something up myself. This soup is a remnant of my low carbing days, that I still like to eat every now and then. With this inveterate predilection for…

      Dutch Split Pea Soup

      Funny story. Kayotic Kitchen was recently published in a Dutch magazine. The header stated “They even make my split pea soup in Egypt“. I thought I’d die laughing—there is was no split pea soup recipe in my food blog! It was so amusing to read how the interview I gave them had been creatively altered. So I guess it’s about time I slap up an “erwtensoep” recipe, wouldn’t you say? Even…

        Cazuela De Pollo

        It’s snowing and it’s so cold here. Now snow can be romantic, I know, and it probably would be if I’d spend the weekend in some luxurious cottage in St. Moritz, completely snowed-in with George Clooney. But no, not me, in stead I caught my little man’s cold and am sniffling, wheezing and coughing my way through the days. Really romantic, huh? Hearty chicken soup, there’s just no better cure for a cold. Now if you’re a food snob,…

          Ghanaian Peanut Soup

          Here’s a simple, completely unprepared, spontaneous and slightly odd recipe. Spur of the moment thing, so bear with me. I had quite a bit of leftover mashed potatoes from yesterday’s winter stew and a little extra time on my hands today. The last time I turned them into potato crepes -which is a pretty good way to use them- but I wanted to do something really different this time. Especially for all you Americans…

            The weather is terrible here. So much rain, everything so gray it’s almost depressing. Almost, I said, because there’s just no better way to spend a rainy, gloomy day than being cooped up inside my little kitchen, cooking up a storm. Ok, so maybe curled up in a warm bed with lots of sleazy magazines to read and cookies to eat, but I kinda forgot what that was like ever since my…
