Soup may not sound all that interesting or for matter look that appetizing, but the fact of the matter is that it is cheap, can be super tasty and is easy to make. My family always makes a face like "oh no, not another soup!" At the end of the meal they usually tell me that it was enjoyable for the most part and that I am allowed to make it again. Because I like to tinker with recipes, soup is the perfect canvas to create. You can make the soup as simple as four ingredients or get super creative and create a masterpiece. I have yet to create a master peice soup, but I am on a quest to do so. It is my goal to make a soup that even my 18 month old son will eat, for my daughter to want seconds, and for my husband to declare that I am the best soup maker ever!! Tall order, but I think I can do it. I first like to see what I have in the kitchen and go from there. Beans make an excellant ingredient for soup. They are cheap and also rather filling. Beans are also a great source of protein that is easily digested by the body. Vegetables are always a good choice. Any vegetable and as many as you like usually works. Meat for some is a must, but if you are on a tight budget it may not be possible. I have found that dumplings are a big hit in my household. Super easy to make and the kids love them. I will try to remember my recipes and share them with you; failures and all!
