Back in the day a recipe like this was no interest too me as I was going to be an “incredibly creative and inventive chef”.

If you go to the trouble to prepare this soup, make sure you server it with a crusty loaf of sour dough, a great loaf of sour dough really makes this soup!

A deliciously different vegetarian recipe that is inspired by the cuisine of American Indians. I created this recipe in the late nineties and it has remained a favorite for some time. While this recipe does not feature any meat it has plenty of taste and texture thanks to meaty mushrooms, yams, fresh sweet corn and other vegetables.

I have always love tomatoes, as a young boy I remember eating them in the summer time from my fathers garden. Today I use tomatoes often in my recipes, they always add tons of great flavor with no added fat. This tomato soup recipe is a bit different than most recipes, flavored with cumin, chili flakes and the orange zest it is bold in flavor.
