The kindred life podcast

Join me each week, straight from our barn studio here on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, TN, as I share encouraging and faith-filled stories, prompts, challenges, and conversations that will breathe life into your days and moments, so you can dig more deeply into your own Kindred Life - a life of connection, right where you are. Let’s explore how to live more bravely, purposefully, and connected to the people and tangible experiences that matter most.

favorite creamy homemade tomato soup

There’s something about tomato soup that reminds me of my Italian youth - cauldrons of thick tomato sauce bubbling on the stove for hours on a Sunday afternoon in preparation for Sunday dinner. Sprinklings of fresh basil and oregano. Was there ever an Italian-American girl who didn't grow up on meatballs, pasta, and homemade marinara sauce? This tomato soup is creamy, rich with rustic Italian flavor, and the perfect fall & winter comfort food. Get the recipe.
