Butternut Squash Soup

Yup, it’s definitely soup season in our home. It’s getting cold out and I’m craving warm comfort foods. A couple of weeks ago my husband and I made our favorite split pea soup.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

It’s March and it’s still cold here in Connecticut, in fact it is weirdly colder than it was last month, so soup is on the agenda. This soup is not going to win any health awards, but it sure is delicious. There is a lot of creaminess going on here. It’s the ideal comfort food to warm your core and make your belly happy. Even though this is mostly a cheese soup, let’s not forget to give a shout out to the broccoli. Aren’t broccoli and cheddar cheese a good pairing? This soup was certainly a calorie splurge, but on …
