Fall has arrived (actually winter, as it’s currently snowing in Colorado, even though it’s not even November!) I threw my 5th annual soup swap this Sunday and it was so lovely! I started this tradition 5 years ago and have made so many delicious soups. This year, nine fellow soup swappers gathered this past Sunday, a blustery winter day to swap delicious veggie goodness. Below are the recipes and soups that were made….and pictures of the fabulous festive day.
