I'm a day ahead with cooking dinner!  I've already made a spicy red lentil and veggie plus potato soup for tonight.  Today I'm probably going to make a leek and potato soup for tomorrow.

Leftover soup from last night, with some of the yummy bread BF baked.

Today must be soup day cause I'm having Carrot & Lentil soup an some toast Dh is having his own soup he doesn't like my soup.  ;)  :)

Ha ha - I must be the only one here who just really doesn't have a thing for soup!  :P

I blame Campbells - I grew up eating Campbells soup from a tin, grudgingly, and just thought - is that all there is?!  It's taken me a long time to get around to liking homemade soup, even just a little bit (can't do tinned at all - bleh!) - and even then, can't say that I'm crazy about it.  But it's growing on me.  Oh & I mean soupy soup, because I like things like chili & stew, that are chunky & hearty, just not the runny stuff.

We're having beef stew a la crockpot tonight.  Nice & easy, and our new veg box comes tomorrow so hopefully more exciting meals on the way.

We're having Chicken Tonight - the french country one. I'm feeling lazy. We'll have it with brown rice and peas.

I've gotten so into making soup that I can't eat the tinned stuff anymore, though I never really enjoyed it much to begin with.  Tinned soup was usually a meal of desperation, but it's just not soup to me at all now.

I'm with you on the hearty thing.  I usually make mine chunky, and if not necessarily chunky I like a nice thick soup that I can dip bread into and have it stick on there.  :)

Oh my god, I could eat soup every day for the rest of my life I love it so much!  Thick and hearty, chock full of veggies and even a thinner soup is OK.  Usually thick though because if I make soup for dinner, that's it--maybe some bread with it, but that's it!

I grew up eating Campbell's too (the Campbell's factory was right over the bridge in Camden, NJ I believe--for many years.)  I loved it then--with a sandwich or as a starter.  But nowadays I realize all the preservatives, sugar, and sodium that's in it.  It's just so healthy to make your own and not too time consuming, either.

Me too. I think soup (all kinds!) is the *perfect* food!

Oh god no - if I eat soup even once a week or less - that's more than plenty!  I don't mean stew or chili - those don't count as soup to me.  :P

And maybe I'm being a manly woman (lol!), but soupy soup is lunch (IMO) - not a main evening meal.  :D

You and my husband both! I can't get him to eat soup for dinner. I love soup, but not the pureed kind they have over here. I'm chunky soups all the way!

I'd eat it as a starter for dinner.  I can do a thick pureed soup once in a while, but not a big fan.

My soups often cross the line between soup and stew.  Add more water, it's soup, less water, it's stew.

Last night I made a Shrimp Stir Fry and we picked up some fried rice.

Today is our first day of moving.  :-\\\\ So probably pizza or something easy.
