Cook's Corners: Some fall temps call for tortilla soup

Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Last weekend, that wonderful little cool front blew in, bringing lovely rain and a feeling of fall. Today, I have a new and delicious recipe for a creamy tortilla soup, along with a new idea for football-watching-snacking and a much-loved pumpkin bread recipe….all perfect for this time of year.

Fall is here, and pumpkins are everywhere! I don’t know why most folks only cook with pumpkin in the fall and winter, but perhaps that makes it more special when we do! Today I have four new recipes using pumpkin or pumpkin seeds that I think you’ll have fun trying.

Nepal native Dinesh Mishra in March opened Namaste Dine-in on Williamson Drive to introduce the Georgetown community to Nepali and Indian cuisines. Namaste is a family-run restaurant that serves home-style dishes. Because Nepal borders Northern India, both Nepali and Indian cuisines are similar.
