The Soup Pot

It is turning fall.

Slowly but surely it is cooling ever so slightly

here in Houston.

And I am in full anticipation of sweatshirts, stadium blankets 

and fires in the fireplace!

And when the weather starts to turn toward fall. . .

my mind turns toward fall food.

Namely - soups!

I love to make soup.

There are no photos or links to recipes for some of my favorites

like grandma's vegetable beef soup or

my mom's potage crecy (carrot soup)

Ron's Chicken Corn Chowder or

Sara's Spicy Sausage and Lentil Soup

These are old favorites scratched out on food stained cards

that I cherish and turn to time and time again!  

There are a few of our tried favorites available on the internet

and some new finds I cannot wait to make -

Our all time family favorite is Ina Garten's Chicken Chili

It is loaded with chicken and red and yellow peppers.

We love it with all sorts of toppings and tortilla chips!

Another family favorite is Chicken Tortilla Soup

from Pioneer Woman

While you're over at Ree's site, check out her recipe for

Roasted Vegetable Minestrone Soup

Lastly, I've been on the hunt for a decent homemake 

wonton soup recipe.

I don't know if Martha is the best source for asian,

but her recipe looks clean and simple....so I'm gonna give it a try!

The kids love making wontons!

Simply scrolling through these beautiful photographs made me hungry for soup!

And I think we are due for more rain today. .

so guess what we're having for dinner!?

Question is. . .which one!?
