I have tons and tons of recipes I’ve gathered over the years. Believe it or not, I have even purged {gasp} some of the ones I knew I would probably never make – because they were 1. too complicated 2. required weird ingredients 3. didn’t fit my family’s tastes or 4. because I had other similar recipes.
If you “know” me – purging recipes is not an easy task …… I’m sort of a recipe hoarder … I think I need a 12 step program or something – it’s really that bad. (Have you seen my Pinterest boards?! They will more than prove it to ya ….. I’ve just moved over into digital hoarding now – and looking at some of y’alls boards, I know I am not alone!)
I found this soup recipe years ago …. I can’t even remember who or where it came from. I “filed it away” for quite some time before I ever really made it. Once, while I was looking through my recipes (because that’s what all cool foodies do), I stopped on this recipe and wondered why I hadn’t tried it before. I loved the simplicity …. I loved the fact that it was healthy … and budget-friendly? Hello soup recipe – where and why have you been hiding from me?! God knows I probably have gazillions of other recipes lovingly tucked away, waiting to be rediscovered. Help me …. Don’t be like me.
This feeds my soup love …. my deep, sincere love of soup. I don’t discriminate – I love ’em all. There is something so comforting in a bowl of soup …. it renders warm and fuzzy feelings.
I like feeling warm and fuzzy feelings.
Yield: 6-8 servings

Great looking soup… I blog about simple living and the hardest thing for me to keep to a minimum are recipes. I think your purging reasons are right on. Thanks for sharing this on foodie friday.
That looks absolutely amazing. I am a soup lover too, and also a recipe hoarder, and have recently moved on to bigger and better hoarding…..Pinterest! LOL!! And I won't mention the boxes and boxes of cookbooks and recipe clippings that sit among me. This is a great recipe to share at Foodie Friends Friday. Thank you!

Jamie,
HA! A fellow recipe hoarder here 🙂 I know what you mean about purging recipes. I have stacks of pages I print out every day from blogs and I so need to go through them and only keep the ones I REALLY intend to try. This soup is delicious looking so I'll probably be adding one more to my stack! Thanks! If you ever find that 12 step program, sign me up 🙂
Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share this week! Have a wonderful week.
