I love to soup! Lol  

Yep this article is down on Juice up on Soup! Thanks! 

Soup makes a good breakfast if you're a bit tired of eggs and such. It seems weird but actually it's a good way to rehydrate in the morning, too. 

That bowl looks mighty tasty! 

I'm going to check out some good soups at Costco, Trackin! 

Interesting article... I love soup, but don't make it very often. I wish there were more gluten-free store bought options!  

Jessberry, did you see the link to the new Soup company? Pg 2 I think. Wow! I learned a new word too. Imbibbing We on FS are imbibing too much food! 

Imbibbing is guzzling liquids. 

I loooooove soup. Which is good, because I can't make small portions. It always winds up being like 10 servings! Pro-tip: store leftover soup in single serving baggies and lay flat to freeze, then you can stack them in your freezer. No need for store-bought ever again! 

That's a great idea, Notelaine! Thanks! 

Becoming a good soup chef is a talent and skill in it's own right, endless varieties, and range from simple to complex, I expect to be hearing and reading more about souping in the near future!  

Thanks Phil, I'm going to 99 Cent Store for those avocados. 

The new trend here now is pet pigs. Walking them like dogs on a leash. You know they are very smart animals. If you ever saw what happens in Farmer John you would be a Vegan for life.  

Notelaine, you're a woman after my own heart! I love freezing things that way. I also save small yogurt cups and freeze things in big "ice cubes" - excess stock, leftover veggies, etc. When I make soup - or almost anything it's handy to be able to just grab a cube.  

Warren - if you haven't already seen it, do a search for "Chase commercial with pet pig" It's been on here a lot and cracks me up! Kinda makes me want a pig!  

Omg, I love the idea for the big ice cubes!! That would be so much more convenient than the smaller cubes for some things! 

;-) I'll often open a container of stock just to freeze in 4oz cubes. It's so frustrating at times to want just a little bit for cooking and NOT wanna open a whole damn box/can just for a few oz!  

Warren, I didn't notice the link to the company, but I'll look it up now. @Notelaine & Vickie, those are great ideas! When I do make soup, I never think to freeze it, but freezing single servings would be so helpful! And it doesn't take as long to thaw as a huge container :)

Too much sodium in most soups - even homemade
