About

My name is Karen Gibson, and it’s true, I’m addicted to soup.

I’d get help, but ya know, I just don’t wanna. I mean, it’s soup. Who wants to be saved from soup?

Karen Gibson holding a basket of harvest vegetables | SoupAddict.comI’m a four-season vegetable and herb gardener, and life-long cook based in Cincinnati, Ohio. As a home cooking advocate and gardening educator, my recipes feature fresh, seasonal foods prepared with masterable techniques and reliable results. You’ll find lots of soups, salads, and pasta dishes, many vegetarian or easily made meat-free.

As a journalist with 25 years of professional experience, I began my career in the tech sector, publishing articles on software and office automation, resulting in over 50 bylines in some of the best tech magazines and journals of the day. Over the last few years, I’ve transitioned to the food and gardening world, where I write about cooking, organic gardening, and how edibles get from the ground to our tables.

I hope you enjoy this website and the recipes within. Want to get in touch? Drop me a note!

I’m active on social media, too — stay connected off-blog on Pinterest, Facebook, or Instagram.
