The Soup Chain

 

I bet you never thought you'd see another post from me so soon, eh?
Well....surprise!

Back in the heydays of blogging (well, at least MY version of heydays) there were many "events" that somehow - like bloggers themselves - fell by the wayside: giveaways, blog chains, blog hops, etc.
I miss some of those things.

I've never organized a blog chain or hop and this may turn out to be a total and complete flop but thought I would give it a whirl.

I know many of my fellow bloggers who turn to the cozy side this time of year. We can't wait until it's "that" season again.
Not sweaters and hot chocolate season but SOUP SEASON.
(Some of us, who will remain nameless, don't necessarily relegate it to a season, but, still, it goes best with the cooler temps and coziness of the months to come.)
We can and do make meals centered around things our forefathers took for granted as an everyday staple: a hearty soup or broth and a hunk of crusty homemade bread.

Soooo....I'm thinking of resurrecting an old blog tradition of doing a blog chain where, periodically (in this case once a month...the second Sunday of each month to be specific in this case), we all post a soup - or bread - recipe to share with others.

It can be a tried-and-true favorite recipe of yours, or a new recipe you try and give an honest opinion/review of. Photos, of course, would be a welcome bonus.

I know it's short notice for this upcoming Sunday, so feel free to just post a simple recipe - no photo pressure...but, if you're like me, there's some kind of soup on the menu in the days to come.
(And no, there's no blog chain patrol here, so if you post on Wednesday, or the third Sunday, I don't care....and neither will anyone else. Soup makes one a bit more forgiving than usual it seems.)

Please feel free to copy and share the photo meme above and use it when you post so people know you're part of the chain gang.

I hope to see some of you on Sunday!

Yes I was surprised you posted another so soon. And YES I’d like to join in the Soup Chain. Back in my heyday I was an avid from scratch bread baker but don’t take the time to bake now with my worthless new range which “they” say is working within acceptable temps. It not acceptable to me as food still doesn’t get properly cooked as with the old range.
So I’ll see you on Sunday.

Terrific idea, how did you know that vegetable soup is on the menu for tomorrow? Mostly because I can put everything in the crockpot and head out to clean the barn…and not have to stop and cook. (really, it’s fine, I’ve got this-grrr). I’m looking forward to it, Robin. The tried and true recipes are the best!

Yay Mary! So glad you will be joining in! I'm so looking forward to it. (Hmmm....thought you were going to clean the barn today...could someone have procrastinated??? ;-) Soul sister you be!)

That I did! And my daughter has Fridays off, so I thought of better ways to spend the day. Ugh - I received an anonymous comment about my cupboard - “That looks like a health hazard.” And as I’m pondering telling them what I’m going to do to clean it, blah blah blah I have just decided to throw my hands up in the air and say, who cares? If you can’t say something, nice, as the saying goes! I may have to block anonymous comments. Daughter’s out the door soon to work 12 to 14 hours at Nutcracker rehearsals, I am committed to the barn!

Yea!!!!! I love soup! And now I wished I had taken pictures. I just finished the last if my cauliflower soup from the freezer.

For as long as I have been blogging, I am not familiar with a blog chain. ‘Splain it to me please. I am a lousy cook with few recipes, but can I still join in on reading them? I am looking for a few…and super easy (read few ingredient)… soup recipes.

Kathy Barrick said...

This is absolutely BRILLIANT!! The only soup I've made from scratch is vegetable soup and everyone knows how to do that, so I'll be looking forward to more exciting recipes!

Thank you for thinking of this blog chain and what timing! Just last week the hubs was saying we should have soup more often this season. Looking forward to all the shared recipes.

TheCrankyCrow said...

You're welcome Asep. Hope you can share some recipes with us!

TheCrankyCrow said...

Awww....thanks so much Kathy! I'd love for you to follow along!
