That’s right… I’m back with Part 2 of my German series – check out Part 1 here, the German Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies. Even though I’ve been back from Germany for a few months now, I’m still thinking about all the amazing food I ate there and enjoying recreating some of my favorites. Which brings us to… German Pancake Soup! Also known as Flaedlesuppe/Flädlesuppe – it is a very special dish and both unique in its appearance and taste. Flädlesuppe, is a serious comfort food for many who come from Southern Germany, more specifically the Swabian region. Before I tried it, I wondered how satisfying such a simple dish could be, but it’s simplicity is what warms you up and fills you without being heavy.

I’m usually late to the party on a lot of things. Quinoa … Downton Abbey… and not to mention kale. But I finally hopped onto the kale bandwagon a few years ago and I haven’t looked back since. In retrospect, I’m not sure why I ever hesitated since I now have a total love affair with this lovely cruciferous vegetable. It’s versatile, tasty and full of fiber, iron and all sorts of vitamins.

I don’t know about you but I just love Indian food – there’s a particular hole-in-the-wall that I frequent more often than I care to admit and their stews are so comforting it’s like being at home. So this week, after the massive Snowpocalypse that shut down all of New York City – including my beloved hole-in-the-wall – I was craving that warm, cozy feeling I get from my favorite Indian place. So after playing around with this recipe from the The Kitchn for a while, I came away with this incredible recipe for a vegan curry soup that’s chock full of your favorite vegetables and packed with flavor and nutrients. It has just the right kick of spices that are balanced out with a hint of creaminess from the coconut milk – all for 200 calories a bowl. I’ll have seconds and thirds, please!
