Chunky Pizza Soup: Jessie Weaver, The Vanderbilt Wife

Today's featured recipe comes from Group B blogger, Jessie of Jessie Weaver, The Vanderbilt Wife, who made Chunky Pizza Soup from her assigned blog, Searching For Spice. We have weekly soup night at my house, so I'm always looking for a new soup recipe and it looks like I've found one :)

"This soup has big pieces of bell pepper, onion, salami, and mushrooms, making it hearty enough for a meal on its own, which sometimes soup is not. A slice of cheese toast on the top helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes and adds and extra flavor layer."

Member Fave: Corn Bisque

Today's guest post comes from Amanda of Dancing Veggies - she is sharing a fabulous meal for the cold night's ahead!

Greetings! This was my third (!) year participating in the Secret Recipe Club so when I saw the call for bloggers to reflect on their favorite recipe of the year - I knew I had to get involved. 

I knew it was going to be tough to pick just one recipe from the 15 awesome ones I did this past year (11 with group A and 4 orphans) and boy was I right! I went back and forth and back and forth, trying to decide what factor to use to determine the top recipe. Should it be the one that was most popular on the blog? Or the one that I have made the most outside of the challenge? Or the one that the most people have told me they have made? 

In the end I asked my husband to select and with that the incredible Corn Bisque I made back in June when I was partnered with Cookaholic Wife. This was one of my favorite blogs of the year, mostly because Nicole and I have a lot in common - to include city of residence and age! 

I did have to alter the original recipe in order to make it vegetarian (and kosher!) but a favorite Baltimore spice ensured that the original flavor profile was still there.

2014 was a tasty year, and I'm greatly looking forward to all the treats that 2015 will bring!!!!

Sweet & Sour Soup: The Tasty Cheapskate

Today's featured recipe comes from Group B. Jeanie of The Tasty Cheapskate made Sweet & Sour Soup from her assigned blog, Morsels of Life. I must be craving some Asian cuisine - and I think SRC members are right along with me on that because we have had a ton of super delicious looking Asian recipes and I can't just NOT share them with y'all :)

Jeanie had this to say about her recipe:

"And it was delicious. If you're afraid of Asian soups or cooking, don't be. This was kind of a nice little fusion soup--a little Asian, a little American. CJ. who writes Morsels of Life (and has a new baby--yay!), says that if you like a little more of something or less of something, then add it accordingly."
