Searing the Beef

For a lighter variation, reduce Yukon gold potatoes to 1 potato (cubed) and add 2 medium carrots (chopped).
To meal prep: cook pasta separately and store apart to keep firm.
Soup thickens in the fridge; thin with broth or water before reheating.
Freezer friendly: cool fully, portion, and reheat gently on the stove.
Lovely served with crusty bread or a crisp salad.

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
