My Love Affair with Soup


It's 10:00 at night, and while most people are getting ready to hit the hay, I suddenly have a hankering for something to eat. I blame it on my late night dinners after working a shift at oh, so, waist-line friendly Carrabbas. Either that, or because I literally sometimes go the whole entire day consisting of two cups of coffee and whatever bits and pieces of food that don't make it into my sons' mouths.

Whatever the cause, I am hungry, and after a call to Ben's office, have a confirmation that he will be coming home soon. Since I didn't get a chance to crock pot it today, what can I whip up that doesn't come in a box or can? I remembered a recipe from my trusty Wegman's Menu magazine... asparagus soup, which supposedly can go from counter to table in 15 minutes. What do I have to lose?

I should add that I make soup for dinner at least twice a week, Ben and I just love eating soup for some odd reason. Even my picky Nathan has taken a liking soup, telling me today, "Mom, I like meatballs in my soup." I get no complaints from Oliver, of course.

I should also add that the picture above is not my soup... I'll have to see if I can discover where the kids put my camera card, so I can take a picture of my concoction. I am also trying to figure out how to insert links, so I can link the recipe. Why am I so technologically challenged? My friend, Jaime, can even vouch for me that I have never even burned a CD. That's pretty sad!
