Today marks the first day of December. I have a new toy, got an IPad, formally received my copyrights to my first two books, been writing and just received the proof for my third book and must start redlining it. Have yet to start my Christmas cards, just put up the Christmas tree, steamed my rugs in the house and have been trying quite a few recipes. Specifically cooking and testing soup recipes as I am co-chairing a benefit luncheon which consists of soups and stews. Being that we are very are very close to winter - best to serve hearty satisfying soups on a cold winter evening.
Here are the latest versions of soup recipes I have been dabbling with! Enjoy!
