Near or far, my mom and I will always find a way to cook together. So, in our first attempt to cook long-distance, we opted to make something warm, comforting, and a little exciting – some cold weather soups!
If you’re wondering how we could possibly prepare something together from two different parts of the world…two words: cooking virtually! We were missing our nightly recipe sessions so much that we had to come up with a new plan, and for anyone out there looking for a way to connect and cook from afar, this option worked like a charm for us!
…and we got two different soups out of it…so that’s a bonus!
With our new cooking-agenda all planned and ready to go, we made a point to pick a day and run with it. So, at 5:00pm this past Tuesday, we Facetimed one another, popped on our aprons, and got to work!
Weirdly (or maybe not so weirdly) – although we were hundreds of miles away – it felt like nothing had changed. We were laughing, relaxing, and enjoying the process like we always had at home.
To say we were both over the moon about the night would be a major understatement!

On to the recipes…
Tonight we’re bringing you two incredibly delicious, yet both very unique, creations from our newly-acquired Maman Cookbook. Introducing: Potato, Leek, and Sunchoke Soup with Rosemary Oil & Sweet Corn Soup!
Rosemary is the real star of the show in both soups, and for good reason. It adds a freshness to these otherwise hearty dishes, creating something warm and cozy, yet light and simple.
If you’re a soup-lover, these should really be no-brainers (and honestly, even with it being our first time making them, they were super straightforward and easy. we highly recommend them for a weeknight!).
Plus, if it’s as blustery and wet outside where you live as it is where we both are…there’s no doubt it’s the perfect night for some cold weather soups, no matter which recipe you choose!
Let us know if you try either of these in the comments below, and keep an eye out for our future digital cooking sessions! Who knows, one might be coming around sooner than you think 😉
Happy souping!
