Soup!
Ah man, is it ever the weather for it lately. We have had straight up rain, overcast, very grey days since Sunday morning, and we’re not supposed to see blue skies until Mother’s Day.
It seems rather fitting that we should have sun on Mother’s Day (hurrah!), but in the meantime… enough!
And with the gloomy weather, there has been a chill in the air that won’t quit. Although the 50 degree days are a welcome respite in the Winter, it seriously has me putting on the heat, wearing my not-Uggs boots, and having a chill that I just can’t get rid of.
Which means it’s totally soup weather.
Who would have thought it would be soup weather in May?!
A few months ago, the kind folks at The Original Soupman reached out to me.
“Hi, would you like to try our soup?”
Um, YES?
I love soup. Of all kinds. Perfect tummy-warming food from the inside out, and even better with a grilled cheese sandwich for dunking.
And I have one kid who loves soup just as much. Nick will eat any kind of soup with chicken, or Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar.
Madeline wants no part of any of it.
She’ll come around.
So a huge box of soup arrived on our doorstep and we couldn’t wait to dig in.
