Alicia summed up the situation pretty well the other day:  "It' so cold I don't want to eat anything but soup!"

Just to get you started, Alicia and I are proud to share several of our favorite soup recipes from our online Recipe Box! Truly Vegetarian Minestrone truly is meatless -- a slight veer from the traditional minestrone that relies on chicken and beef broths for flavor.

Click around on the links in this newsletter and you'll be transported straight to the recipe on our Kitchen Scoop site. (Of course there are a lot more soups to explore on the site, and you can easily find them through our search buttons on the Recipe home page.)

Whether it's a hearty Greek Lemon Rice Soup with Chicken or an exotic Asian bean soup, you're going to feel so much better after just a few spoonfuls!

What are favorite soup recipes at your house? If you have ideas or recipes to share, email us at tellus@KitchenScoop.com. We can't wait to hear from you, and as always, thanks for reading us!
