Life has gotten a little crazy-busy and I have been depending on canned soup too much lately to get us through this freakishly cold Vancouver winter. Not only is canned soup not as healthy for you it is also a waste of money so I wanted to come up with a homemade stupid-easy potato leek soup. […]

Portobello Mushroom and Bacon & Cheese Tortelloni Soup & Duso’s Product Review
I have thoroughly enjoyed product testing Duso’s Bacon and Cheddar Tortelloni and finished putting it through my test kitchen with this fantastic mushroom soup.
