I’m a simple girl.

Don’t get me wrong…I love expensive jeans and the occasional shoe-splurge, but all I really need in life is a fully-equipped kitchen.

And soup.

That’s really all I care about right now.

Soup and cookies.

Cookies and soup.

My version of Amanda’s Veggie Soup is waiting for me when I get home tonight.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my slow cooker?  I can’t even imagine how heavenly my condo smells right now!

Please do come back tonight to see if this soup was delicious or not.  Something about those floating pieces of fresh basil and oregano already have me convinced that it’s going to be a winner.

Don’t forget to sign up to receive this recipe for Amanda’s soup, as well as MANY OTHERS!  I’m putting my own version of lovin’ into the recipes as I make them this week, so you guys will get the final wonderful versions of them when I’m done.

I hope they’re all wonderful at least–since I’ve been known to screw some things up from time to time!

Tonight, I’ll be making cookies to accompany this soup, because it just feels right.  Stay tuned…I feel a disaster waiting to happen.

That’s just kinda how I roll.  I’m way overdue for a kitchen disaster.

p.s…you guys have been so wonderful and supportive about my marathon debauchery.  Thank you so (so!) much for all of the kind words.  As the pain in my extremities subsides, thoughts are creeping in about doing another marathon next year.

Yes, the girl who swore that she would never do another marathon is considering her second.  Crazy fool.

I just can’t have that pathetic time on my record as the LAST marathon I did.  I don’t care if it’s the time for my first marathon…but not my last.  We shall see how the body cooperates with that plan.

I am way too excited!

Beginning this Sunday, October 11, I will be happily devoting a week entirely to perfecting 17 soup recipes for my readers.  Next week will be SOUP WEEK at Jogger’s Life!  Stay tuned for a photo journal beginning Sunday, chronicling all of the happenings at Soup Central!

My Gazelle is working days all next week.  Which means that he’ll be home for dinner.  I sure hope that he’s ready to eat some soup (muahahahaha)!

When the soup-making party is over, I will be publishing all of these recipes to a wonderful eBook.
