Soups and Sides

Soups and Sides

Simmer up a simple summertime soup. Or, if soup in summer isn't your thing, choose a hot-weather side dish!

Rick Bayless has tons of delicious dinners you can serve in a bowl, even some cold ones. (Thank goodness)

So whip up a yummy soup or side, post it on or by Sunday, July 15th and link up with Mr. Linky (below). Leave a comment so that we can all check out your delicious soup or side!

*This is a chef-based cooking club, so only post your dish if it is from a Rick Bayless recipe. Adaptations are fine, non-Bayless links will be deleted.

If you need more information about participating or linking, check out our Welcome Post!

Soup fanatic? Feel free to join in with Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for Souper Sundays! Deb does a souper-douper soup round-up every Sunday. Click on the button for more details.

Too hot for soup? Try one of Rick's delicious side dishes instead! Either way, it's going to be a delicious week!

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
