Tom and I enjoy cooking. We are often in the kitchen making something for us both to enjoy. We also love having friends over with whom to share our culinary creations. It’s a fun hobby.
As we’ve shared before, we have been busy decluttering our home. This week our focus has been on the kitchen. It’s amazing how many gadgets and appliances we have. It’s obvious this is something we enjoy. But I’m proud that we’ve been able to purge the things we don’t use and reorganize in more convenient places the things we do. It makes me want to reward our efforts by cooking something delicious!
It’s soup season and nothing warms the soul more than a delicious soup on a cold, winter day.
My daughter and I started a food blog a while ago, and it is where we have posted many of our family’s favorite recipes, that is until Pinterest came along. But we still use our old blog as a reference.
Today I’m sharing with you five of our favorite soup recipes from our Food Brag Blog. Make plans to cook them soon. They will fill your home with savory aromas and draw your family to the table. Make the most of these precious days.
It’s true — The days are long, but the years are short.

“Soup is a lot like family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.” – Marge Kennedy
Date Night Prompt: While enjoying your soup, work on a jigsaw puzzle together while listening to your favorite music.
The Romantic Vineyard 
There were days that I could eat,
and enjoy what was prepared,
but that was down yesterday’s street,
and I wish that I had more cared
for the cook who added grace,
for the wife who took the time
to bring meals to another place
of rosemary, love, and thyme.
I wish that had praised her more;
I wish that I had learned to linger
over those meals I did adore,
worth lickin’ every finger!
Now it’s scrambled eggs and applesauce,
but lovingly made, it is not loss.
