National Soup Month

It has been extremely cold here this week. When it gets this cold, nothing warms you up like a nice, hot bowl of soup. This week, I have had soup at lunch a couple of times and tonight, we are having it for dinner.

With as cold as it is in January, it is no wonder that January marks National Soup Month. I imagine that I am not the only that turns to a hot bowl of soup to warm them up!

When it comes to soup, my favorite ones are those that are easy to prepare. Whether I am enjoying a made from scratch soup like my Roasted Cauliflower Cheese soup or I am simply making a can of ready to eat soup, I want it to be flavorful and satisfying. I frequently will pair it with a sandwich - who doesn't enjoy a nice grilled cheese sandwich with their tomato soup or a turkey club with a bowl of chicken noodle - or with a salad and a nice slice of bread.

With it being National Soup Month, I thought I would share with you some easy soup recipes from Hormel.

• Chicken Taco Tortilla Soup: Ready to spice things up? This recipe features a variety of CHI-CHI'S® ingredients for a flavorful, Mexican inspired soup that will warm you right up!
