An Easy Recipe

If you're short on ideas for an appetizer, you might want to consider making a soup at home. It's light, it warms the body, and the right ones are absolutely delicious. I have a whole cabinet full of recipes and I'd like to share some ideas with you.

When people think of soup, they often think of the simple types. Chicken noodle, tomato soup, vegetable soup, and split pea may come to mind. There are many more though. Let's run through a few great soup ideas that may appeal to you.

Butternut squash is a great soup, but I like mine even more with apples in it. Mincing some apples with this soup makes it delicious, but I'd go one step further and puree them. This is one of my favorite soups out there and I believe you'll love it too.

2. Broccoli soup with cheddar cheese croutons. You've probably had the broccoli and cheddar combo on its own, but the cheese flavored crouton here is a game changer.

If you're a fan of potatoes, try throwing a nugget into the middle of a cream of potato soup. Not only does it add to the flavor, but it gives your soup a great texture, as the warm potato will really enhance the overall experience.

Appropriate for the time of year, why not try doing something with pumpkin? The natural spices of the pumpkin are absolutely great when hot. You can go with a creamed soup, a bisque, a gazpacho, and other original twists.

Lastly, a cream of turkey soup with turkey dumplings inside. This requires a bit more work, but it's such a great soup and my personal favorite. If you have the energy to pull this off and you like turkey, then I know how you'll feel about this soup.

There's a good chance that one of the above soups may appeal to you. If I haven't done my job, keep on thinking and I'm sure that any one of these ideas could ultimately lead to something else.
