Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

I’m thankful for the beginning of soup season. When it’s chilly we love to make a big pot of soup. It’s such wonderful comfort food. Our first soup this fall was creamy potato soup. We always make some delicious garlic bread too. They go together wonderfully.

    That sounds amazing. Now that Mom is eating a plant based diet, those items are off the table, but there are still soups she makes and enjoys eating.

    I also make soups all during the cooler weather. Right now I have a large tupperware bowl full of butternut squash/apple soup in the fridge. Your potato soup looks delicious and you’ve inspired me!

    Soup sounds wonderful! My all-time favorite is homemade chicken noodle soup, but when I don’t have the inclination to make it myself, I run up to my local Panera Bread and eat it there.

    Potato soup and broccoli cheese soup or my two favorites. Alas I can eat neither one because of the dairy that’s in them. I may try taking a pill and trying a little potato soup or maybe find a way to make it without adding Dairy

    Those do look delicious! Soup Season will be different since the Dad can’t have creamy or dairy, but he can dream about it. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
