Even though this has been a mild winter for much of the country, winter still means big bowls of soup for many people. Now that I'm getting into soup I thought we'd revisit soup as a recipe swap theme. It also seemed like a good way to usher out winter.
Joanna just started a food blog and this was her first recipe swap. She made
Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Noodle Soup:
Melissa had my recipe for
Broccoli Soup:
Caitlin enjoyed her
Tomato Orzo Soup, which was tangy and filling:
Mary Ellen was very excited to make her
Stuffed Cabbage (Galumpki) Soup, which brought back memories of her grandmom's Polish dinners:
Jenna has been wanting to make chicken and dumplings for awhile, so when she got her recipe for
Crock Pot Tex-Mex Chicken and Dumplings she was excited:
The Cooking Nurse made
Hearty Beef Stew, a delicious Valentine's Day treat:
I messed up and gave Heather a recipe for
Stuffed Pepper Soup, which was similar to the one she had submitted for the swap. It worked out fine, though, because her recipe was for the crockpot and this was a faster version for the stovetop:
Jaida loves soup and really enjoyed the rich, creamy
Loaded Potato Soup she made:
Once again Nicole cooked outside her comfort zone, and was pleasantly surprised by the results, with her
Spicy Blue Cheese and Tomato Soup:
Ammie absolutely loved her
Mahogany Beef Stew:
Cathy's
Lentil Black Bean Stew worked well for her healthy diet:

Butternut Squash Apple SoupColeen had hoped to try a new soup for the swap, but ended up getting one of her favorites,
French Onion Soup. This version tasted just like the one at her favorite diner:
My recipe for
Cream of Tomato Soup with Pesto was like a bowl full of summer:
The Cookaholic Wife wasn't sure about her
Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream, but she ended up loving it:
