Last week I had read that Linda at Life and Linda had made a zuppa toscana soup and shared the link. I decided that the soup sounded perfect for our cold weather. There's nothing like a bowl of comforting soup to warm the soul. I combined a couple of recipes and added some things to make it my own.
My son Tim, and granddaughter Ella came over for pork and sauerkraut the other night. We always had this meal when I was growing up in Pennsylvania and Ohio for New Year's Day. Ella and I made an angel craft with wine corks, wooden balls, an ribbon from my stash. Here's darling Ella with her angel. She made a halo on hers. Isn't it cute?
Here's my angel. I wanted a face and hair on mine and she's going to go on my Valentine tree.
Thank you for your visit! xo
Zuppa Toscana sounds like it would warm more than just the soul, Kitty. You have red heart shaped bowls?? Why, of course you do. Cute angels you and Ella fashioned.
ReplyDeleteKitty, It's definitely soup weather here and I thought Linda's soup sounded wonderful too. I love your addition of the Boursin that you had! Love it served in your pretty heart-shaped bowl on your Mikasa English Countryside. Your angel ornaments and Ella are both adorable! Stay warm ♥
ReplyDeleteElla is talented and a beauty! The soup sounds awesome!!

That sounds delicious! We're making some soup tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love soup but have never made this kind - looks delish! Cute lil angels!
ReplyDeleteI printed out the recipe and that is as far as I have gotten. It does sound good and you have styled it to be so tempting.
ReplyDeleteYou have the best times with your grands.
Happy Monday.
Love Ella's sweet angel! How precious. Oh I do love that soup. I made it too but have not tried it in the instant pot. Will give it a try for sure. I hope that your week is lovely Kitty. Cold here this morning...like 29 degrees. Not complaining because it won't be long before it's hot again. LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI love your presentation in a heart shaped bowl. So inviting
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious Kitty and we have been eating lots of good hot soup! Must try this one.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a delicious and warming soup for a chilly January day. Those angels are so sweet. Have a good week, Kitty.
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks very good, Kitty, but I'm totally smitten with your cork angels! I need one immediately! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteKitty, I am so glad you made this soup. Changing it up a bit is always a great idea.

The soup looks so good and perfect for a cold winter night to warm you up. I like the cute cork angels you and Ella made. I hope you have a nice week Kitty.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I see you've already started decorating for Valentine's Day! Can't wait to see your Valentine tree!
ReplyDeleteThe soup is perfect for a cold wintry day!
Sounds like a nice hearty soup for the cold weather Kitty-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds delicious, Kitty! Love your heart bowl and candle. Sweet little angels that you made with your cute little grand-girl. A lovely way to spend a winter evening. xx K
ReplyDeleteKitty, Ella is talented and has beautiful hair. The soup sounds delish, and I’ll add it to our FL menu since we will be eating in the rental house and rarely going out to dinner. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteYour soup sounds wonderful Kitty! The Boursin cheese must have made it so creamy and good! The wine cork angels are adorable, so perfect for a Valentine tree 💕

Aw, I love the little angel you made! So pretty! I am looking forward to seeing your Valentine's tree. I have never done one, but should because we all get so sad when we take down our Christmas tree, and it is such a long time until we get to put it up again. We all decided this year that our tree is going to start going up on November 1st! LOL! Lord willing if He spares time and life, that is our goal anyway. God bless you, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteA delicious sounding soup, Kitty! We are definitely in soup mode with the frigid temps we've been having. The Boursin cheese sounds so interesting in this recipe! Ella is adorable and what a cute idea to make angels with her. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks delicious Kitty. I often make a big pot of soup during cold weather, lots of leftovers are always welcome for a tasty meal. Ella is darling and so is her sweet angel. Stay well and safe sweet Kitty....
ReplyDeleteI love soup and yours looks great! Hugs,sweet Kitty.
ReplyDeleteKitty, this looks delicious. I love soup day or night. Stay warm and cozy.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that red heart-shaped bowl!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks delicious and your granddaughter is adorable.
ReplyDeleteA warming soup for a cool January day.
ReplyDeleteI do like Ella's angel, so sweet.
All the best Jan
What is Boursin cheese? Can you make this in a regular pot? Sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteHi Dearmumsie! Boursin cheese comes wrap in a foil package, and that is then in a little box. It has herbs in it and can be used as a spread, also. Look in your soft cheese area in the grocery store. Yes, I think you could make this a a regular pot.
DeleteYour Zuppa-Toscana will be the perfect soup to warm us up with our cold winter days we are having. Hope you are keeping warm and cozy! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with us at Full Plate Thursday, 574. Have a great week and come back soon!
