At Soup’s On!
In Florida, we really only have two seasons: summer and pseudo-winter. During the summer time, I often lay around my house with the AC cranking and the fans at full speed praying for clouds to offer some respite from the blazing sun. I feel like a Morlock in those months, squinting and cringing in the harsh light.
But pseudo-winter... now there’s a different story! Scarves, sweaters, coats, boots, hats! I love it all. But most of all, I love the food. Hot soup and sandwiches, chili, stew. So to my utmost joy and exultation, I have discovered Soup’s On. Granted it’s not cold outside just yet, but I’m counting down the days. And while I’m at it, I’m enjoying some “made-fresh with local ingredients” soup from Soup’s On.
So far I’ve had the Carrot & Apple soup (I enjoyed it hot, but it can also be served cold); Wild Mushroom & Barley Soup with an open-faced Roasted Eggplant sandwich with goat cheese; and Apricot & Red Lentil Soup with a Portobello Mushroom sandwich. My hubby has twice supped happily on French Onion soup (he ate a whole pint the first time).
(Sorry some of the pictures are blurry and the food half-eaten... usually I’m too excited about the food to remember to take a picture until it’s too late)

Can’t forget the tea! This was delightfully refreshing: Citronella Tea
No, not the stuff you put in candles to keep the bugs away. But it is just delicious enough to chase the summer blues away. =)
Yum! Yum! Happy Eating! Tchau! Tchau!
