I’m not a very good blogger.
Yeah sure I can lay down beats in my own off key way. Just ask the baby; we sing all the time, not very well mind you although she’s not complaining. Granted she can’t really talk yet, so there’s that. I’ve been known to make a mean muffin too, plus mounds of cheesy macaroni stuffed with a boatload of broccoli because veggies rock my socks off, especially when they’re smothered in cheese.
Here’s the thing, I’m not great at the whole promoting yourself thing.
I figure if I’m your cup of tea or barrel of booze, you’ll come back for a drink; hopefully often since hydration is important. If not, well then I hope you find what you’re looking for in some other frothy beverage. We’ve all got unique viewpoints and finding something which suits you is key.
That being said, I have a plethora of recipes on this here blog, so many that I’ve even forgotten a few, and that just feels wrong. It’s like neglecting your kids or locking your cat in the closet with a bible, a crucifix and one those church kneeler things. (Sorry, I’ve read Stephen King’s Carrie way too many times; if Oscar comes home covered in pigs blood we have a problem).
My point is I don’t often share my old content and that’s just a damn shame because there are some super scrumptious morsels in my arsenal and in my archives. The kind of tasty vittles you and I need to be shoveling down our pie holes right now.
I’m talking soup.
Tis the season after all, and considering I’ve consumed a bowl chock full of fabulousness the past three days and counting, I figure it’s high time I share with all of you. Plus I need to work on that whole promoting my recipes business.
Without further ado, I give you:
Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
Creamy Broccoli Potato Soup with Pesto
It’s green, and it’s fabulous.
Chickenless Noodle Soup
A meat free spin on a classic.
Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
The perfect companion to a grilled cheese with extra sharp cheddar.
Hearty Vegetable Soup with Roasted Tomatoes
A clean out your fridge soup bursting with flavor, beans, and veggies.
Thai Inspired Vegetable Soup
More veggies, this time with a peanut cilantro flair. This is one you don’t want to miss.
Ratatouille
While technically more a stew than a soup, this is a bowl of slow cooked amazingness.
Ratatouille
Stuffed Artichoke Soup with Brown Rice and Asiago
If you like artichokes, you’ll love this soup. It’s one of my absolute favorites.
Vegetarian Three Bean Chili
This recipe is Fall in a bowl.
Oh and if you’re looking for something to pair with your soup, I totally recommend these Butternut Squash and Cheddar Drop Biscuits. I keep some in my freezer at all times. They’re kind of a necessity.
What’s one of your favorite soups? Which one of the above would you most like to try? If you’re a blogger, how do you promote past recipes?
I want them all but the Thai soup would be my first choice. I never make soups. We both don’t enjoy soups in larger quatities and cooking two things for one meal is too much work right now. This being said I might need to try the Thai soup anyways. (I just opened the recipe in a second tab and the post’s opening line was pretty similar to the one today 🙂
Don’t get me started with the lack of self-promotion. I am still seeking the switch in my head. I think I was raised to believe that self-promotion is something obnoxious. Like do good things but don’t talk about it. And this is somehow ingrained now.

Maybe we should talk more about how fantastic we are, shake up the old norm that you can’t talk about your good doings.
I could live on soup this time of year. I have so much love for those bowls of goodness, especially with a side of biscuits.

Lol. Dear god. Too funny.
Okay, now back to the food. Heck YES to you promoting your stuff – food and otherwise – and heck YES to soup! Your recipes are always perfect, and I mean that. Everything I’ve made has been spot on and has become a routine make – that is pretty darn rare I’d say. I just hope I don’t become creepy if I’m the girl that keeps making all your food……
I really want to start with that artichoke one. And then the thai one. I want.

Your comment made my day. I love knowing people are making the recipes and really enjoying them. I put a lot of time into making sure they turn ok and the instructions are clear so it’s nice to get the positive feedback. Make as many as you want; I won’t ever think you’re creepy, at least not for that.
The artichoke one is my favorite.
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
The Thai soup!!!! I WANT IT. I hate having to think about the kids though. I wonder if they’ll eat it? Or should I just serve it to them and if they’re hungry they’ll eat it? YES.

Just tell them it’s vegetable soup with a spicy flair. Then let them garnish their own bowls with peanuts and cilantro and they’ll love it. I hope… 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
We love, love, love! Soup! My personal favorite is ratatouille and I will look forward to making your version for sure. I have never had good success getting flavor into the broth of vegetarian vegetable soup and that’s the recipe of yours that I’ve got my eye on.
I make a wicked chickenless noodle soup with homemade pasta! Enough to lure the family. Yours looks outstanding!
Gosh, thanks for unearthing some of your gems for us! If sharing is your idea of self promotion then I hope you continue!
Homemade pasta….now that I can get down with. I want some of your chickenless noodle soup. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
I loove the hearty veggie soup with the roasted tomatoes! I need to make that again soon. Along with the biscuits, of course.
Thanks Frances. I love hearing that. You just made my day.
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
I would have a bowl of the Thai soup if you were offering one right now… Could do with something warm and spicy!
Gosh I am so bad at promoting myself, heck I even have trouble saying I am good at something – but girl you have some amazing content on here and your recipes are awesome. So I will toot your horn for you! Sharing….!

Why thank you my dear. I sure do appreciate that.
I know, right?!?! I have the same problem with promoting myself, which is probably why I have such a hard time sticking to social media schedules. But I’ve heard it said time and time again that you gotta be your own cheerleader, because if you can’t get excited about the things you put out, how can you expect other people to? Also that’s a general you, not YOU you 😛 And now you’ve got me craving soups.

Tis the soup season. I think I need to invest more time into promoting old content versus always cranking out new stuff. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
ohhhhh shiiiittttttttttskittles. yeah that tomato basil and thai style are both calling my name! i love that your tomato basil has all those yummy veggies, and carrots! i heart carrots. i think i snack on a pound a day total. can’t wait to try these. it’s still in the high 90’s here in houston so when it cools down anywhere below 90 then i can deal with this. right now i’m eating cold stuff: salad and pizza. haha 😀

It was actually kind of cool last week and it’s getting downright chilly at night. Of course now it’s back to mid seventies again. Oh well, I can always eat soup. I love me a bowl of comfort.
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
RATATOUILLE –> my fav! partially because the name and it’s such a hodge podge soup/stew. Like me. LOL!
I love me some ratatouille for pretty much the same reason. Plus it has so much flavor.
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
I used to try to regularly pin my old content on Pinterest… but then some of my RL friends and family started following me on Pinterest and I feel weird about them possibly noticing that I pin my own stuff over and over again LOL.
I’ll happily promote this post for ya though. 😉

Thanks Sunshine. I absolutely need to get better about promoting old content.
Meghan recently posted…Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
It’s totally soup season and I’m so excited about it. I’m going to challenge my readers to make and eat soup as much as possible soon, it’s the perfect treat for the chillier season. Your creamy broccoli potato soup with pesto looks amazing, I love potato soup!
Mary recently posted…Bill Pickett Rodeo
There are days I feel like I could legit live on potato soup. It’s my happy place this time of year.
Good luck with your challenge.
so I never really loved soup but lately I am enjoying tomato soup almost every day! this is a great collection, I love ratatouille and want to try the chickenless chicken noodle.

Thanks I’m glad you liked it. Soup is my jam, not to be confused with actual jam. 🙂
“Promoting” ourselves is totally overrated, this kind of self talk though is totally appreciated. Share those soupy soups!

Thanks lovely. You rock my socks off.
You’ve got me craving soup, even more so because my heater broke and a tree crashed in front of my garage.
ANYWAY. This reminded me of your cauliflower soup which I (verbally prayed) Oscar would fall into.
I’m glad your pimping yourself out- You have quality on here and it was a delight to see Niki and her friends gorging on this ‘tropical smoothie’ which they found on here 😀

I’m still relishing the fact Niki was going on about my Tropical Orange Smoothie. That made and still makes my day. 🙂
