soup week.

Since October is such a good time for soup, wouldn't it be fun to do a soup week? Granted, there's not enough October left to do a full week, but I'll credit October with the idea. I'm thinking Monday through Friday, I'll make soup every day. (And then blog about it! Hopefully with pictures and the recipe attached.)

I love this idea!

Here are the soups I'm dreaming of:

Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Butternut Squash Bisque
Quesadilla Soup
Beef Stew
Taco Soup
Black Bean Soup
Potato Soup

That's seven, and I'll have to compare ingredients and ponder on what my tummy will want to narrow it down to five. Time will also be a thing to consider--the butternut squash bisque, while tasty, takes a LONG time--and hello! November means Nanowrimo time! I still haven't determined if I'm going to nano or not...I've done it the last four years, and year 5 would make it such a wonderful thing, but um, hello! I have a six, soon to be seven month old. How would I even begin to make that work?

So. Just so we're on the same page. Next week: Soup Week. And I'm thinking, if you're digging the idea of soup week, maybe you should make soup at least one night! And then blog about it! I know, right? Great idea!

PS-I should also credit Aliza for soup week inspiration. I was going to post some recipes...then soup week was born!

  3. Annalea, that sounds awesome! I don't cook anything with lentils, but I really want to start!
    Aliza, how do you make your dumplings? Everyone seems to make them so differently.
