No Soup For You!

To say that I enjoy soup is probably a huge understatement! Everyday at work I eat soup; Monday thru Friday--soup, soup, soup.  I don't get sick of soup and I absolutely love it! There are so many varieties and types, you can't go wrong! I think the soup fascination started from sheer laziness. I was tired of making myself lunch (yes, it's true), so I just started bringing cans of soup to work. I ended up bringing bowls and spoons to keep at work and I carted in two week's worth of soup every other Monday. It made my life easier; who doesn't enjoy easy?!?

My coworkers quickly caught on to my soup obsession. Lovely little comments flew by my way every time I microwaved my lunch.  I love Campbell's Select Harvest and Progresso Light :) I have standards, no condensed soups! I love chicken soups and different types of tomato soup. Canned beef soups seem so boring to me and canned vegetable soups do not appeal to me.

Christmas rolled around and I received a soup cookbook. I was puzzled. I had a system and it worked.  Me, cooking soup? Really? That's not to say that I've never made soup before; I do have a few recipes that I enjoy. But to cook soup on a more regular basis; how odd!

Well, as my friend suspected, I'm enjoying cooking my own soup. So much so, that I'm constantly whipping up a batch to eat and freeze and share with others. It was suggested I write a blog about my soup making skills... So here I am...... Welcome to my crazy world of soup and any other cooking creations I feel like sharing.

I'm by no means an expert, so don't think of me as your go-to soup gal. I consider myself a novice in soup making and all cooking endeavors. I don't feel like a "real" cook because I just cook for myself. I live alone, but I learned to cook for a family. So when I do cook, it's in big quantities....Therefore, I have a lot to eat before I make another meal (yes, I am aware of the invention of the freezer, but my freezer is constantly filled with other frozen stuff).  So join me as I write about my fun in the kitchen; it's always an adventure. I'm sure you'll find a recipe that you'll enjoy and my commentary skills are Vh1 worthy, so you'll get a little entertainment on the side, too.

So pass the pepper and grab a spoon! Enjoy!
