Soups: Updated (and snow)

Car Cleaning Post Snow

Last weekend we got a healthy dumping of snow (15 inches), and it looks like we are slated for another storm tonight.  I have been busily finishing the last of my shopping and non-edible homemade gifts.  Tomorrow I will start making some edible treats for Colorado friends before we head to Seattle for festivities including an adapted Italian Seven Fishes Christmas Dinner with my wonderful family.  More to come on that later.

Today's post is really just a quick update to let you know that I have recently made and updated the recipes for two of my favorite vegetarian soups and added pictures as well.  I wrote or adapted the recipes for Black Bean Soup and Quinoa Soup a couple years ago, but they remain a favorite staple.  Enjoy and Happy Christmas (season)!

Friday Links: Winter Soups

Tuscan Bean Soup from The Italian Dish

The snow is coming.  The air is expectant with the incoming storm, and the anticipation is killing me.  We got our first storm a couple weeks ago, but this one is supposed to leave snow measured in feet.  With opening day coming up in two weeks, we are all ready for the flakes to fall.  I love soup on a snowy night.  The windows in my tiny house steam up, and outside is still and beautiful, reminding me of what I love about living in the mountains.  Here is a roundup of delightful soups for your snowy (or just cold...) weekend.

The Italian: Tuscan Bean Soup

The French: French Lentil Soup

The Thai: Chicken Coconut Curry Soup

The Vietnamese: Vegetarian Pho

And from the archives at SG:

The simple classic: Potato Leek Soup

The healthy choice: Black Bean Soup

The party dish: Chicken Chili

The travel-inspired: Quinoa Soup

Enjoy the weekend, and make some soup!
