It is fall and fall is perfect soup weather. One of the things that I like about fall and winter is that I can start cooking soups again. I know some people eat soup during the summer, but I don’t like to. I just can’t enjoy a bowl of steamy, hot soup in July when it is 99 degrees out. I need cool weather to put me in the mood for soup.
One thing I like about soup it is usally a frugal meal. Not only is it frugal, it is usually a one dish meal. You can serve it with bread, but you don’t have to. Soup is a meal all by itself. You don’t need a side dish or salad to go with it. A big bowl of soup for lunch or dinner and you have a great meal.
Now I just need to decide which soup to make. Here are a few I am thinking about.
I can’t decide. Maybe we will just have soup week next week. I wonder if my family would mind soup every night.

This may sound like a weird soup but it is awesome – Cream of Cilantro Soup http://www.savingyoudinero.com/2009/03/16/cream-of-cilantro-soup/ I am not a big fan of cilantro as a spice but it tastes different in the soup. Give it a try!

Thanks for all these great recipes. The spinach minestrone looks wonderful – I think I’ll add that to my menu plan for next week. I posted a Pumpkin Curry Soup on my blog earlier this week. It’s one of my favorite fall soups and it’s quick and easy!

Lynn,
The photos are fab. I’m drooling for soup season, even though we eat it all summer long too.
Please consider linking up one or more of your soup posts up to my carnival this Thursday – the theme is broth/stock recipes, and I’d be honored if you’d participate. Thanks! Katie
