Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles
One of the things (which my husband Eric invented) I always made for my kids is something we call peanut butter ramen noodles. By adding peanut butter, it adds some much needed protein. I also like to add some shelled edamame for even more of a protein boost. It's really delicious!

Ham and Split Pea Soup
Every year I make some sort of soup using the ham hock from Christmas dinner. I happened to have a very large bag of split peas, which I like because you don't have to soak them overnight. Serve it with a loaf of crusty bread and a salad. You can just use chopped up ham, if you do not have a ham hock on hand.

Cheesy Potato & Ham Chowder
While surfing the web, found this recipe on an Indiana Farmer's site (yes, you know you are leading an exciting life when you are checking out farmer's websites!). I have no idea why I made it, because I generally hate soup of any kind. It was really delicious and my husband said we need to keep this recipe in the family archives. I added some white pepper to it, but the simplicity is what really makes this soup good. Some crumbled bacon bits would not go amiss as a garnish...

Rustic White Bean Soup With Spinach & a Ham Hock
I made 5 hams over the holidays for various parties that I catered. Cleverly, I froze all the ham hocks. I pulled one out a made this white bean soup, throwing it all the the crockpot. The ham hock I used was particularly meaty, so I did not add additional ham. Also, I served it with grated Parmesan cheese and crusty bread.

Gazpacho
My daughter, Grace, made this Gazpacho. It was her mission. Gazpacho is probably the last thing she would ever eat, which proved to be true. She never even tasted it. Gazpacho is a tomato-based soup traditionally served cold, originating in the southern Spanish region of Andalucía. Gazpacho is widely consumed in Spanish cuisine, as well as in neighboring Portugal, where it is known as gaspacho.
