Oooh, it’s gotten cold here in Tennessee — which is perfect soup weather! (And a perfect opportunity for food porn — these photos are fresh off my camera today!)

Here is DH’s traditional Nouvelle Année Gumbo. He made a big batch last night, so there’s plenty left over. It’s a thick and spicy soup featuring, among other things, shrimp, sausage, and okra.

And I just finished whipping up my first batch of Black Eye Pea and Tomato Broth. It’s seasoned with chili pepper, cilantro, cumin, and turmeric (in Israel, this soup is known as Lubiya), so it also has a bit of a kick to it!

  1. It looks great! Happy New Year! :)

  2. Wow. Both of those seem like they’d be great for my bad cold. If I weren’t full on homemade chicken noodle soup, I’d be hungry for some of those leftovers.

  3. Thanks, Dianne!

    Joe, there’s nothing better for a cold than homemade chicken soup. We swear by it here at Chez10K, and I think science is starting to catch up with us (studies show that it works)! Feel better soon!

  4. Both of those are making me drool on my keyboard.

    I’ve got to get on top of this food porn addiction.
