This contemporary style house features a facade of white with natural wood volumes at each end, supported by “legs.” This stilt house incorporates outdoor entertaining areas as part of its plan, inviting the warm Spanish sun and sea breeze inside. Like the exterior, minimalist interiors feature a contemporary palette of while with warm wood finishing floors and the staircase leading up to the second level. Shared by two families, this rural home is a thoughtful design that works. According to the architects, “We would like to show a contemporary way of living of two families with children. We consider the dwelling as a ‘programmed space’ which shows its contrasted uses thanks to different volumes inside a continuous perimeter or ‘belt’.” Francisco J. del Corral del Campo

Quick Weeknight Soup? Use Canned Soups as a Base

Quick Weeknight Soup Use Canned Soups as a Base Quick Weeknight Soup? Use Canned Soups as a Base
We read Stephanie’s post yesterday about Williams-Sonoma’s new line of “soup starters” with great interest. You see, we’ve been using basic canned and boxed soups as a base for creating richer and more filling meals for years! Do you do this?

The truth is that some of those pre-made soups are pretty darn tasty and even nutritious. We’re absolutely addicted to the red pepper soup from Trader Joe’s and always seem to have a can or two of Annie’s Organic Lentil Soup in our cupboard.

In the interest of making these soups more filling, getting some fresh vegetables into our diner, and also stretching one can of soup into multiple meals, we started adding in our own ingredients and spices. We usually do a simple sauté of onions, garlic, mushrooms, and a green like chard or spinach, and just stir it into the warmed soup. Extra pepper and a spice like smoked paprika usually help jazz things up, and then we’re done.

This might not be as deeply flavorful as a soup that has spent hours simmering on the back burner, but it’s very satisfying for a mid-week meal.

Do you have a favorite store-bought soup that you like to doctor up?
