Any special requests for a particular type of soup?
Tomorrow is our church's Bistro, so I will have 4 new recipes to draw on. Since I haven't tasted any of the soups, I need to do some research before I can make recommendations.

Oh, that sounds so good. I love black beans. I'm traveling to my son's tomorrow. I'll share this recipe with them. Soup will be good on a cold day.
(Sorry...couldn't stand my typo.)
This is definitely worth trying ...maybe in my crock pot on a workday.
I'd love a good minestrone. Haven't found a recipe that tastes "old fashioned".
This looks really good especially as it is snowing out. Warm soup on a cold winter day. I think you should publish a recipe book of soups now for the winter.....
Sounds like a lovely chili, I like that you use turkey rather than beef. Since I'm allergic to chili powder, I'm passing this one on to my caregiver to try.
That sounds delicious--we eat a lot of turkey and the warm spices sound appealing for the chilly days ahead. (Or is it the chili days ahead?)
Sounds so good - a nice variation from beef. After our grilled cheese and canned soup for dinner tonight, I decided to print this one out. Mmmmm.
