#SundaySupper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back super around the family table in every home. This week Susan at The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen is hosting and the theme is dishes that keep you warm.

I have a wonderful book called The Soup Bible. When sunday supper decided on this theme I went straight for that book. There is a section called winter warming soup! Perfect! I want to try all of them, but this one really stuck out to me. It has a rather interesting process. It is very simple. However, it gets unique at the end. You ladle the soup into single serving bowls and then crack an egg into it and put bread on top of that and bake it for a few minutes to poach the egg. It’s brilliant and makes for a full meal.

Roasted Pumpkin and Coconut Soup

Posted on November 1, 2012 by sheilaly

I love soup!!! And I have never made anything with real pumpkin. Therefore, last time I went to the farmer’s market I decided to buy one. For some reason I was really nervous about cooking with a real pumpkin, but it was so easy! Just like squash, except bigger. I don’t know what else I am going to make with pumpkin. But, I definitely am going to use it more this fall!

#SundaySupper: Chicken Chowder

Posted on October 14, 2012 by sheilaly

#SundaySupper is a group of bloggers who are on a mission to bring back supper around the family table in every home. This week the theme is comfort food.

Whenever I think of comfort food I always think of soup. Soup always makes things better. If I have a cold or if I am homesick I want soup. Soup always makes me feel better; always warms my soul. I use to have to go out for soup. But I am working on it. I have been collecting soup recipes and slowly but surely attempting to make them. Some times they are horrible, but lately I have been making some really delicious soup!!!

Last night I went on a bar blitz with the Sexual Violence Center to raise awareness about sexual assault! It was so much fun. We had a game to play and most everyone loved it. We also gave free t-shirts to anyone who posted on Facebook or Twitter about seeing us. A ton had photos with me and other volunteers. I look forward to finding all the fabulous photos of myself. 🙂

Last but not least the soup! This soup is pureed, so there are zero chunks of anything. My friend, Leslie, has been to Ireland and is partially Irish. She told me this is how it is done in Ireland. Pureed soup. Works for me.
