Every morning while I'm having my morning tea, I ask myself that eternal question, "What the heck should I make for dinner tonight?" I've been in a soup sort of mood, so here are three soups that I considered for dinner.
Corn and Cheese Chowder
I like almost everything The Pioneer Woman makes, and this one had the added benefit that I have all the ingredients. It was a serious contender.
Sherried Tomato Soup
I found this one while I was perusing The Pioneer Woman's website, and I could almost taste a delicious dinner of homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Drawbacks were that I would have to go to the grocery store for diced tomatoes and sherry.
Split Pea Soup with Sausage
This recipe sounded intriguing. I always make split pea soup after I make a ham, but to be honest, I just barely tolerate ham after the childhood trauma of being made to sit at the kitchen table until bedtime because I couldn't/wouldn't finish my awful slice of ham. I used the "spit it into a napkin" trick more than once and my mother pretended not to notice. Split pea soup without ham might open up a whole new world for me.
And the winner was ...
Split Pea Soup with Sausage! Easy, delicious, and no one was forced to sit at the kitchen table until bedtime.

I always love it when you share recipes! I have diced tomatoes and sherry so immediately clicked the tomato soup recipe ... sadly, I do not have any heavy cream :-) but I think I might be tempted to buy some. (along with bread to make toasted cheese sandwiches)
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! I love soup in the cold-weather months -- and those all look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! From the bottom of my heart. Because, this is the question that I detest that comes every day with great regularity from Steve. The bane of my existence is the eternal question of "what's for dinner"
ReplyDeleteI will do this next week and give you some ideas for "whats for dinner" these recipes look amazing! Thank you again!
Yummeh! (For me, it was peas. Canned peas. Gray. Yuck.)
ReplyDeleteI've already printed out the split pea with sausage recipe and the sherried tomato recipe - sounds delicious (though I do like it with ham too). Do you like shrimp? And curry? if so, I have a wonderful curried shrimp soup recipe that's easy and delicious!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteWow, those look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect time of year for soup. I'd go with the tomato even if it means a run to the store. ALWAYS eat the tomato soup!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you! These all sound so good. I'm off to the grocery store this morning and I will probably pick up ingredients for the split pea & sausage soup...or maybe the tomato...or maybe both!
ReplyDeleteSoup is the perfect comfort food, thanks for sharing the links to these recipes!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I love a soup recipe review! i need soups as my mouth heels. My mom loved split pea soup. She loved the yellow peas as she said they were sweeter
ReplyDeleteI've never tried yellow split peas, but will so that some day soon. Hope your mouth is feeling better!
DeleteOMG I wish I was your neighbor! That would not fly in my house at all and I love it so much. Have an extra serving for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a timely post, Bonny. I fixed tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches last night for supper. My husband was feeling under the weather, and it was a perfect meal for both of us. I have been making soup at least once a week since the weather got cold. We have had homemade chicken made with stock I made from a rotisserie chicken. It was very good, and I froze some of it. We had homemade turkey, made just as the chicken, from homemade stock from a holiday turkey. I also made homemade mushroom from a NYT's recipe, and it is very good. I think having recipe reviews on here is a great idea. The bane of every woman's existence is the daily, "what's for dinner?" or "what am I going to make for dinner?" I have never made split pea, so this may get me going in that direction. A little help in the idea department is always appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your help in the "what's for dinner?" department! With the cold weather returning, I've been thinking about soup for the coming weeks, and chicken and turkey are on my list. I hadn't considered mushroom, but that also sounds quite delicious. I rarely know what to write about on Tuesdays, but it may become "what's for dinner?" day! Thanks for your great ideas; we're all in this dinner dilemma together!
DeleteI think Tuesday's what's for dinner idea is a great one! Thank you for all your ideas. The Pioneer Woman's soups sound very good!
DeleteI saw your title and said to myself "It's Thursday?" I've lost January and its' only the 11th. ALL your soups sound wonderful!
ReplyDeletePlease come cook for me!
ReplyDeleteI make soup often. I could eat it everyday. Up this week at our table is a Creamy Wild Rice Soup. New recipe so I hope it is good.
ReplyDeleteand now I want some soup! You are inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteI love soup and these sound like great suggestions. I have never tried sausage in split peas, but what a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSplit pea soup is a favorite! When we lived in California, it was a treat to go to "Pea Soup Andersen's" in Buellton for a bowl of delicious soup & their fantastic vanilla milkshake. The last time we were in the area on vacation (2009), we made sure to stop there for lunch and it was just as good as we all remembered.
