Hi, my name is Lindsay.
I go to food photography classes.
I meet friendly pugs at food photography classes (eeeee!!!).
I try to use my new photography skills. #oops
Annnd… I avoid taking pictures of spicy sausage posole by posting photos of other more interesting things?
Don’t be fooled by my bad attitude about soup pictures.
This is actually my favorite fast weeknight soup. It’s spicy and yummy and it only takes about 20 minutes to make. Did I mention I love sausage? And cilantro? Cause this soup is loaded with both. BTW, did I mention my closet love of Doritos? I never let an opportunity for Doritos pass me by, and this soup is screaming opportunity.

Someone please get me that pug.
1. I want to snorgle that little pug.
2. I hate photographing soup, too. Somehow it always looks like vomit.
3. But your soup photograph looks great, very chunky and textured.
4. I think I have the same charger on which that soup is sitting 🙂 Target??
Snorgle is my new favorite word. And the charger is actually Crate and Barrel!
Um, I lie. You were right. It was Target. 🙂
Haha, soups definitely don’t photograph as well as some other foods… but your pics are always beautiful!
Aw, thanks. 🙂
I wish I could take a food photography class!! Your pictures are awesome!
Thanks Anna!
Food photography classes sound so much fun (especially when they involve a pug…)
This is my kind of soup – chunky and flavourful. Love!
I know – it was a bonus that she had a pug! MAJOR bonus!
Lindsay–I saw a shirt at Urban yesterday that reminded me of your love for pugs! (Pugs Not Drugs) 🙂
Photography class sounds amazing! So awesome–how’d you find it?
That shirt is going on my Christmas wishlist!! And as for the class, actually, someone emailed me the information about it because they thought I might be interested! And I was! 🙂
Your photography class looks awesome. But I gotta say that soup looks pretty delicious 😀 All the ingredients sound delicious too and I’m all for quick soups that I can make at the last minute 🙂
This one is SO totally a last minute (but delicious) dinner.
Everything about that soup and this post and that dog and a bag of Doritos sings to me. Love songs.
lol… I try not to use “lol” too much but I think your comment warrants its use.
I need to take a food photography class so bad!!!
Ok, I really could use said food photography classes. You, on the other hand need no such thing. Your photography is amazing! Could you send her my way for a week or two? And tell her to bring along a bowl of that soup while she’s at it. 🙂
Aw, thanks! I learned a lot – I’m hoping I can share some tips as I get better! But at this point, I’m still learning….
That soup looks awesome – how you made it look that way is beyond me! I agree that soup pretty much always looks awful in photographs! You did a great job with that one. And can I tell you? I love Doritos too. . . . We don’t really have to keep that a secret, do we? And what’s the hold up with the pug anyway?? Someone needs to get you one, STAT!
I agree, Sara. I agree.
hahaha, love this post! And the soup looks amazing to boot – soon you’ll be teaching food photography classes 🙂
I think I need a pug in order to host a photography class. Right?
I would be thrilled if my soup looked as great as yours!! All your photos are amazing 🙂 And that soup looks de-e-licious. The pug is quite adorable as well 🙂
Lovely photos and great recipe!
mmmm sounds delicious!!
Love absolutely any soup with cilantro. And I too am a closet Dorito lover.
Your pictures are beautiful…I hope to expand my photography skills in the near future.
This makes me laugh as I just took pictures of beef stew and thought, “Oh gosh…these are horrific!” This sounds absolutely delicious. I also think Doritos are from Heaven!
This looks like a great quick weeknight soup – I just printed it off. And what a great excuse to open another bag of Doritos!! (So glad to have met you at the photo class…your soup pic is great!)
This sounds fabulous. I’m jealous of your class! I’ve been relying on books.
It’s so so hard for me to read photography books. I really enjoyed the class!
that pug is adorable! I’m trying to convince my boyfriend that a pug would be the perfect dog for us. He’s starting to buy it…. Your photos are beautiful!
Thanks! Pugs are great, aren’t they? You’ll have to let me know if you end up getting one!
This looks so delicious. Would love for you to share this with us over at foodepix.com.
I would like to take a food photography class someday…in the meantime I think I share your frustration with taking pictures of soup (purees…anything like that is tough). Your pics are great though.
I’ve been meaning to make posole more often in the meantime, especially now that it’s almost (wha???!) December. This looks great! And the magic words–“Great weeknight meal”? Sold!
It really is! It comes together in about 20 mins. I love that.
I will try this out this weekend, Lindsay. Thanks for the tip:)
Hope you like it! 🙂 It’s super easy, which is a bonus.
