Southwest Turkey Chili
I used to make chili all the time. And I really mean, all the time! I woke up this morning with a small craving, and because I've been on a health kick, I decided I'd use ground turkey breast and give it a kick with southwestern flavors.

Inspired by lunch at La Cueva del Chango in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, this soup just tastes natural and authentic. There are no crazy spices and stocks to add flavor, it all comes from the ingredients -- poblano peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, yogurt and chicken breast. It's what I love most about authentic Mexican cuisine.

The Fit Cook's Pho
I love when recipes come together by accident! I was sauteing some veggies for a frittata and made more than I needed. I put the leftovers in a big white bowl and suddenly imagined them in broth and noodles. Just a few minutes later, dinner was served.

Creamy Banana Soup
I had this soup at Jacob's at the Hotel Kura Hulanda  during a trip to Curacao. I had to ask if by banana they meant what we call bananas or plantains. As it turns out, it was plantains. The server warned me against it because she finds it too sweet. This made me want to try it even more!

Moroccan Split Pea Stew
Adding spices is the best way to make food that is flavorful with little to no fat - that's how this dish went from ordinary to Moroccan. I am a huge fan of legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas) because they are very nutritious and you can make a lot for very little money. Cook once, enjoy over and over.

Game Day Chili 
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, football fans! With a little inspiration from my friends at Goya*, I gave my 5-Star Chili recipe a Cuban twist - picadillo meets chili in this hearty, sweet and spicy chili that will have your guests cheering for you. 

Sweet and Sour Soup
This impromptu soup may  become one of my favorites. It was supposed to be a Creamy CarroTomato Soup, until I decided to throw a few more ingredients in the pot and take it to a whole other level. You'll love it.

Blue Corn Tortilla Chicken Soup
What I really want to call this is "Everything but the Kitchen Sink Soup," but it turned into something a little nicer sounding in the process. I've been making this soup for years, always using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This time, it turned out tasty enough to deserve a spot in my recipe index. 

Curried Coconut Pan Roasted Sweet Potato Soup
I'm absolutely obsessed with curry and coconut, and I don't care who knows it! This soup is sweet, spicy, creamy and so easy to make... if you like a little heat, this will rock your world!
