Some of these recipes have me drooling! I’m currently without a kitchen, but the thought of being able to make some soup in what will be a beautiful new space makes my heart happy. Thanks for the roundup!
Well when you have that new space you can cook all you want! How nice that will be. :)
I’ve been on a soup kick lately myself. These look great, and I will surely try some of them as the weather gets colder. Thanks for finding them.
