spring soup

literally.

 The calendar says

spring

the flowers and trees

are singing

spring

even the pets

shedding fur 

confirms

it's true

but

(you heard it coming)

the temperatures 

have me sitting under a blanket

at night

starting the fireplace

to warm things up a bit

and

making soup

I could call it

soups last

hurrah.

I've made

peppers and potato stew

or as I enjoy calling it

pepperonata di patate

with an Italian flair

Chili 

a pot of warmth

topped off with

cashew sour cream

and traditional saltine crackers

and

Creamy Corn Chowder

with Corn Muffins

served in a mug

that I could wrap my hands around

as I ate

to steal its heat

served right along side

my spring

centerpiece

as a reminder of the season

all has been delicious

but this particular soup was

special

which is why i am sharing it here

with you

as a way of sharing a snuggle

:)

Spring soup.

A delicious way to

usher in 

the warmth.
