I recently took part in a soup-swap with my girls from my bible study. It was such a great idea. you basically make your favorite recipe in proportions enough for each family to eat for dinner and everyone else does the same. So, I took a tub of Coconut Chicken Corn Chowder for each of my 4 girl friends and kept one for myself. That night, I came home with four different soups to try! My freezer is going to come in handy during soccer season! We already ate one dinner - Jennifer's vegetable soup. I have had a lot of vetegable soups before and I always enjoy it to a degree but this was hands down the BEST vegetable soup I have ever had in my entire life. I do not give out complements where they are undeserved - I am not one to flatter - this was so entirely good that I could have eated bowl-full after bowl-full until I threw up. It was full of black eyed peas, okra, tomatoes and plenty of other veggie goodness. But it was the flavor that had me. Baxter couldn't get over it either. The flavor was unbelievable. It was so nicely melded, not one flavor overpowered another. Perfect soup. I can't wait to try all of my others but I am going to make myself wait until I have no other dinner options. Otherwise, I will eat them all in one rainy day!
I am looking forward to walking up to the Smyrna Farmer's Market tomorrow for the first time. I hope to come back beaming with arms loaded down with goodies.
