Rain equals soup

It’s raining in so Cali and that means soup weather. #basil #soupseason #grilled cheese #sassycooking #organic

2025/10/15 Edited to

When it rains in Southern California, it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in hearty, homemade soups that warm both body and soul. Soup season typically means bringing out fresh, organic ingredients like fragrant basil, which elevates a simple tomato or vegetable soup to a gourmet experience. Pairing your soup with a classic grilled cheese sandwich adds the perfect touch of comfort food nostalgia. Using organic vegetables not only enhances the flavor but also supports sustainable farming practices, which is a big plus for health-conscious cooks. Basil adds a fresh, slightly sweet aroma that complements a variety of soup bases—from creamy tomato to rustic minestrone. Grilled cheese made with quality bread and melted cheddar or mozzarella is a simple, delicious accompaniment that kids and adults alike enjoy. This season, try sassy cooking techniques like roasting your vegetables before simmering them into soup to deepen the flavor profile. You might also experiment with variations such as creamy basil pesto soup or a spicy tomato basil blend for added warmth. No matter your soup style, rainy days in SoCal are the perfect backdrop for cozying up with a bowl of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, making your rainy days something to look forward to.

Key ingredients for dumpling lasagna are displayed, including rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, ginger, garlic, leeks, ground chicken, and gyoza wrappers.

A collection of seasoning bottles, including soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, fish sauce, and white pepper, are shown for the dumpling lasagna filling.

My take on the dumpling lasagna (single serving)🥟🥬

Did you know you could replace the dumpling wrappers for a low carb meal?😋😋 Adding napa cabbage also creates a broth that taste so hearty!! I added one layer of gyoza wrappers on top for the trend! 2-4 servings depending on bowl size ✎Ingredients: *1 lb ground chicken *5 pc napa cabbage
