Soup and A Giveaway

I promised a soup recipe before the Nutri Ninja giveaway ends.  If you haven’t signed up yet it’s not too late.  Do it right HERE!  There are 5 days left to enter and the winner will be randomly drawn on Friday December 11, 2015.  I’ve found this blender so useful in my kitchen.  It juices, blends, chops,  – pretty much you name it Ninja does it.

Today the weather finally turned sunny and cooler, which I am very happy about.  We’ve had unseasonably warm weather in Greensboro for the last couple of weeks and I’m ready to throw on a sweater!  I am also in the mood for a steamy hot, delicious bowl of soup.  My mind keeps bouncing back and forth between lentil, corn & crab chowder, creamy vegetable, or black bean.  Which should I make?  What is your favorite?

Until I can make up my frazzled mind I am sharing a few old posts with some of my favorite soups.

Root Soup  – a soup suitable for fall and winter root veggies.

Roasted Tomato and Garlic – tailor made to go alongside a rustic grilled cheese.

Parsnip Soup –  Parsnips, nutty, sweet and full of Vitamin C, so important during these cold winter months.

Curried Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup – A twist on basic butternut squash soup, this one includes ginger, great for our tummies, honey and curry.  Can you say “yummy”?

I’m psyched to be hosting my first giveaway on The Orange Bee – I hope you’ll go enter right now because I am certain you want one of these blenders.  I’m seeing them on display in tons of shops and stores so I know they are a popular gift item for Christmas.  YOU can win one to keep or gift away!

Leave me a message and share your favorite soup to make during these chilly fall and winter months.  Maybe it will help me decide what to dish up tonight.  Oh….and don’t forget to enter the giveaway – only 5 days left!  Good luck!
