So I think the warmer spring weather may finally be coming and I am one of those people who doesn't normally eat soup unless it's cold, so I probably won't be making any new soups any time soon. I figured I would do a quick soup review.
The Best New Soups:
1) Wild Rice Chowder - Loved this soup!! If you haven't tried this then you should! If you are like me and don't want to eat soon because it's getting warm then you should write it down and try it in the fall :)
2) Creamy Tomato with Tortellini - SO yummy!! Another must try!
3) Sweet Potato and Quinoa Chili - Something healthy and delicious
These three are definitely my 3 new favorites. I liked some of the other soups that I tried, but I'm not sure I am in love with them enough yet to add them to my favorites. Maybe when fall rolls around again, I'll have to do some tweaking and reinventing to turn them into favorites.
The Best "Old" Soups:
1) White Chicken Chili - This is still my favorite soup!! I made it twice this year and wish I would have made it more! LOVE it!!
2) Taco Soup - So easy and simple, but delicious!
3) Vegetable Beef Soup - Another easy soup that hits the spot on a cold and/or rainy day.
I also think you should try making the bread bowls if you haven't yet. They are easier than I thought they would be, but they can be a bit time consuming!
If you have tried any of the soup recipes that I have shared, please feel free to share what you thought!
Coming Soon: My roommate and I are participating in the Daniel Fast with my church which means we'll be eating mainly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for the next 3 weeks. I'll be looking for some good recipes, so we don't get bored. I will share any that we try and feel free to share any that you like!

Soup, Bread Bowls, and a little Breakfast
I can't believe it's been a month since I posted! Things have been crazy as graduation is nearing and I am trying to figure out what to do with my life!
I did want to share some recipes I tried with you though. I've got a soup recipe, pretzel bread bowls, and a yummy breakfast recipe.
Cheddar Ale and Bratwurst Soup
One of my friends posted this recipe on Facebook and said she loved it, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately I didn't love it as much as she did. It was good, but there was just something a little bit off about it. I will try it again someday and see what I think then, but for now, here's the link. If you try it, let me know what you think!

Pretzel Bread Bowls
I love pretzels and I love all the pretzel breads that have been popping up everywhere. (I am extremely sad that Wendy's Pretzel Bun Burger was only limited time because it was yummy!). Since my last bread bowls turned out pretty well, I figured that I would give these a try. The dough doesn't rise as much as regular bread dough so that threw me off a little. I didn't think they were going to turn out at all, but they were actually quite yummy. I wish I would have made them a little bigger, but overall I was pleased with the end result.
Here's the recipe for those

Breakfast Ring
A friend was coming over for dinner and I thought breakfast for dinner would be yummy, so I decided to try a recipe that I had pinned on Pinterest. (I have pinned so many things that I have never gotten the chance to try!) So glad I tried the recipe because it was delicious! The original recipe calls for bacon, but I used turkey sausage crumbles. I also added some diced hashbrown potatoes that I had in the freezer. My ring was a little full, but it was so good! I had enough to make two, so I made one for dinner and another one the next morning for brunch! We enjoyed it with fresh fruit, ambrosia salad, cinnamon rolls, and mimosas! Fairly quick and easy, definitely delicious!

Here's the link where she got the recipe idea from (it has more pictures of how to put it together)
