Souptober: Week 4 Menu

Hey! I am starting my last full week of soups! Can you believe it? Souptober has flown by. I will confess that so far I have no made soup on 2 days, but I did eat soup every day. This week, however, I plan not to meet a beet... haha there's might be a soup with beets in it :)

Also, update for the Captured by a Dream fundraiser I am up to $94 and I still have a week and 3 days! Who thinks we can make it to $150!!!??? Next week I will be posting about ticket prices and details about the Masquerade event. If you know of any big companies looking to donate money for tax returns this weekend please please send them my way. Raising $250,000 by the end of January is going to be a group effort and I need all of you to participate as much as you can :)

Menu:
Monday - Squash, corn chowder with limas topped with feta cheese (my favorite dish from Mitch's Tavern in Raleigh!)
Tuesday - Russian pumpkin soup (mushrooms and potatoes too!)
Wednesday - Sopa de Pollo (another kind of tortilla soup)
Thursday - White Chili
Friday - Shrimp Gumbo/ Creole
Saturday - Borsht Soup (made by the lovely Olivia Coward, this may have beets in it)
Sunday - Minestrone (classic)


Let me know if you want some soup, if you want to donate that would be lovely!

Tuesday: Tom Yum
Wednesday: Tuscan Bean, turned Misfit
Thursday: Beer Cheese Cauliflower
Friday: Tomato Basil
Saturday: Chili

**Only 10 days left after this week! So far $56 has been donated for the Captured by a Dream through my soups! Please help me reach a goal of $100 by the end of this month! Come join me for soup, or just donate. I'm not keeping any of it, it's all going towards building houses for sex trafficed women and homeless children in Iquitos, Peru. Also, for every $6 raised, $1 is going back into our city to fund Urban Life Ministries. Check them out, they are doing great things in our inner city!

This is Souptober: Week 3 Menu. Please consider supporting the Captured by a Dream fundraiser, this is Kingdom work and every little bit helps!

Souptober: Misfit Soup

Day 17. I was supposed to make Tuscan Bean Soup until I realised that it is almost identical to Pasta Fagoli, the soup from day 11. And I had just eaten that soup for lunch! So, I did what any inventive house cook would do, threw together what I had and made soup.

It was rather fantastic! This doesn't make much 2-3 servings.

1/2 cup celery chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
3 mushrooms diced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup quinoa
1 can navy beans
some water
cumin
cayenne pepper
garlic
salt and pepper

Cooked to perfection, which means with a lid until quinoa are fluffy.
Serve with cheddar cheese.
LUSH. I was so proud of my creation.
However, I wasn't too hungry so this is what happened:

portion control

I ended up eating two though. Ha
