Soups On!

If you know anything thing about me it should be I LOVE soup!  I loved soup as a kid!  I eat it year 'round!

I have a hard time between three which is my very very favorite.  Navy bean with ham, split pea or vegetable beef.  MMMM I'm thinking if I HAD to choose #1 it would be navy bean!  

I can eat soup breakfast, lunch and dinner but in real life it's not possible.  I have a husband.  He likes soup but doesn't love it like I do.

I had a boss at SuperValu who also loved soup.  Her usual order when we went out for "lunch meetings"  was two bowls of soup, two different kinds of bowls of soup.  

Since I have been watching what I eat I do get Sunday free day!  I look forward to Sunday free day and plan for it all week.  I can tell you today my meals for this up coming Sunday and it's Tuesday and the funny thing is I knew by Monday morning!

Let me explain Mon-Sat I am on a very strict calorie, fat, sodium type of diet with exercise which I have to keep close track on with my fitness pal app.  Sunday I don't have to keep track and I can actually eat carbs!  I can have regular stove top popcorn!  But it's funny when you watch it so closely all week when Sunday does come around I am still very conscience on how I am eating.

This past Sunday I made creamy potato clam bisque.  A recipe I have made by scratch for quite a few years.  So much I even bought the bowls for it to go in.

This past Sunday was quite chilly so it was a perfect lunch.

I decided that I am going to make a new soup each Sunday at least until the end of the year. I'm really excited about this.  I have so many soup recipes collected but I always seem to make my usual stand bys.  

I do love canned soups as well.  But there is nothing like making it by scratch.  

I am even taking to making my own broth!  I've never done that before, just easy to buy it but until I have been watching my sodium intake WoW there's a ton of sodium which I do not need in soup broth!  OMG! 

I am a freak!  I am so excited to make next Sunday's soup already.  I bought the ingredients today.  This recipe is one from Pinterest.  I thought this month I will make my soups from there.  

A little secret...I have for many years fantasized about owning a soup cafe and what soups for what day I would serve and which would be my daily soups/stews/ chili and home made breads to go with them!  I love to dream.

What's your favorite soup?  Can I have your recipe?

Thanks!
