Italian Sausage Soup {Giveaway}

Italian Sausage SoupI don’t think I’ll ever get tired of a good soup during the winter. Well, I’m kid of a sucker for soup all year round, but winter soup is especially comforting. 

Since Liam is starting to enjoy more finger foods and I’m making his puréed foods, we have an abundance of fresh produce laying around. This soup comes in handy when you need to get rid of those last few things in your pantry and fridge before the next grocery run!

Italian Sausage Soup-3Having a few jars of different tomatoes on hand in the pantry always makes for a great way to be creative on those weeknights when you don’t have a clue what to make for dinner. Beautiful things can come out of a can of tomatoes…this soup being a perfect example. Here are just a sample of more great weeknight soups:

Soups coming out of my ears! 🙂 Also, if you go ahead and make a double batch, you can always freeze the half for a rainy day!

Oh, and if you’d like a quick dessert idea…I’ve made a microwave chocolate mug cake over at Blissfully Domestic!
