For now, soup’s on!


Cream of Mushroom Soup

Soup Recipes for Fall

Slow Cooker Homestyle Chili

Chili Recipes for Fall
Celery, Corn, and Bacon Chowder

Programming Note: We’re Taking a Break

We’re taking some down time for the next few weeks. So we won’t be posting (or visiting other blogs) for a while.

We’ll be back on October 11th with a new recipe. See you then!

Hi Amy, soup and chili season is the best, isn't it? At least it's my favorite cooking season. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Mae Travels said...

Great ideas for fall which has arrived all too soon! I love savory-flavored pumpkin dishes. My idea of pumpkin spice is sage & onions.

Enjoy your break.

All of them look so comforting and delish that would be hard to choose only one to cook.

NO...No...we still have one more week of summer!!! :) How I hate to see summer leave; however, I do love the fall and I do love soup season. This is a great list of fall soups. The Cream of Mushroom Soup has my name on it. Thanks John!

Nami | Just One Cookbook said...

Have a wonderful vacation! Your celery, corn, and bacon chowder looks scrumptious right now.

Eva Taylor said...

Perfect timing for the chillier nights, I've been craving soup ever since they turned the fall switch on! I love the heartier soups and chilis too, real comfort food. Cream of mushroom soup sounds so wonderful right now, and as luck would have it, I have an assortment of mushrooms in my fridge.

I've been clawing and scratching to hang onto summer but realize it's a losing battle...the plants are ready for a break and the cooler weather is apparent, especially in the evening. So soups are IN and I admit I'm ready. What a great roundup; thanks!
