Yes, I Want Soup

It’s no secret that the world of food blogs is a highly incestual place. In the most family-friendly, way of course.
We all like food, many of us enjoy making food, we all read each others blogs, and I’d say a great number of us make each others dishes four ourselves regularly.
I’d say that I fall into all of those categories. Last week, I 100% fell into the fourth.
I’m not a huge soup lover. I don’t dislike it, per se, but I rarely order it at a restaurant (except if it’s French onion soup – that’s just a special slice of heaven) and I don’t frequently make it for myself unless I’m sick.
When Katie posted this soup recently, however, I happened to be reading on a very cold Chicago winter day and I decided that I needed. to have. it. Immediately.
I made a few tweaks (just a few).
I added an enthusiastic squeeze of Sriracha because I am addicted to the stuff and for some reason I just seem to like my soup spicy.
The second time I served the soup for my friend Chrissy, (and hi, Mrs. Kelly- thanks for reading!) I threw in some leftover shredded chicken as well – made it into a heartier dinner. And we all know I like my hearty dinners (says the girl with an entire section of her recipe page devoted to mac ‘n cheese).
Ohhhh, yeah.
Katie – seriously. Home run on this soup. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Stay warm and eat soup, kids!

Yes, soup has been magnificent recently! I’ve made more soup this winter than I ever have–I used to be intimidated by the lengthy ingredient lists, I think. But I’m getting better at it!

True – this one is good for that, not a ton of ingredients!

I love soup, but I haven’t been eating it much lately. Which is odd because last week was the coldest we’ve had yet. Yesterday and today have been awkwardly spring-like, but we’ll be back in the winter zone by tomorrow so I may have to look into this!

Yeah, the weather in Chicago has been all over the place, too. It’s flippin freezing here today, though…wish I still had some leftovers!

I’m obsessed with soup, I practically live off it all winter long. And sometimes in the summer too, which is never the good idea it seems like it’s going to be.

I’ll bet you stick to hot coffee in the summer, too…

I’ve been making soup a few times this “winter” but I always get really sick of it. Thankfully I can pawn it off on my husband. Hehe.

And at least it freezes well, right?

I used to live in Ireland where potato leek soup is ubiquitous but I never make it due to lack of other veggies. This is so simple and I can’t wait to try it! (PS, I love the name of your blog!)
