Italian Nights & Seaside Comfort :: Soup's on Saturday - The Countdown Begins

Lasagna Soup by As Noted By Me

There’s something about soup season that just feels right. The chopping, the simmering, the way a pot of soup fills the whole house with warmth.

Last year, I decided to lean into that feeling and kicked off Soup’s On Saturday: twelve weeks of my favorite soup recipes that became a highlight of fall on As Noted By Me.

From Chicken Tortilla to Lobster Bisque, each Saturday brought a new bowl to the table, and many of you cooked right along with me. Sharing those recipes, hearing your feedback, and knowing they became part of your own kitchens was the best part of all.

And now… Soup’s On Saturday is back! Year two officially launches next weekend, and I can’t wait to share another season’s worth of recipes with you.

But before we get there, I thought it would be fun to take a little trip down memory lane. Over the next six days, I’ll be recapping two soups at a time from last year’s lineup; the flavors, the favorites, and the ones you told me you couldn’t stop making. Think of it as our own countdown to the kickoff of season two.

Soups: Lasagna Soup + Clam Chowder

We took two comfort food classics and ladled them into bowls. Lasagna Soup was everything you love about the pasta dish — rich tomato broth, ground beef, noodles, ricotta — but so much easier to scoop up with a spoon.

Clam Chowder, on the other hand, brought New England charm right to the kitchen. Creamy, briny, and loaded with tender clams and potatoes, it was the soup that felt like a seaside escape.
