So it's not exactly soup season, but...

Soup is one of my favorite meals.

My mom always made great soups when I was a kid, and I love making soup now.

There are so many easy and flavorful combinations.

A favorite of mine involves tomato, red peppers and bacon. It's hard to go wrong with bacon, right?

The bacon-y tomato and red pepper soup also has a touch of richness from goat cheese and gets a little thickening from beans.

All in all, a very good soup no matter what the season.

With a salad or a sandwich on the side, this makes for a very satisfying dinner.

By the way... I do plan on blogging about something other than food.

Hopefully soon.

It's just been busy with work and baby and, well, all this cooking!
