There’s been a complete lack of workouts over here this week. Needless to say, I have nothing to report – save for 60-minutes of lower body on Sunday and a 1-mile walk on Tuesday. Instead of talking about workouts I’ll talk about food some more.
Tuesday I realized I had not had any veggies all day. As of late I had been eating salads for lunch, and frankly I am all salad-out at the moment. I’ll blame a lack of tasty toppings. So I opened the cupboard to find one leftover can of diced tomatoes. This had been a cooking staple for me back when it as cold out. Summertime – not so much!
Homemade Tomato Soup
Homemade Tomato Soup
I added some fresh basil to the pot, courtesy my veggie/herb garden. Regardless I decided to make a quick pot of homemade tomato soup so I could get some vegetables in my body. I topped it with some Parmesan cheese and had a slice of multi-grain bread on the side for dipping.
I confess, I added even more Parmesan cheese after I took the photo! The soup tasted great, but boy, was I hot afterward. Burning up!
Do you eat soup in the summer?
That soup looks so yummy. I don’t usually do soup in the summer, but occasionally I do
The soup looks tasty! I love french onion soup, but its just too salty for warm weather. We usually make a big crock pot of soup on fall days.
Sometimes I eat soup during the summer. But I usually love fattening stuff like baked potato soup. * belly rub! *
LOL! I should confess I did have a cup of cream of chicken soup (from the work cafeteria) earlier this summer. Belly rub on that one too!
Yum! I like soups year-round, but in the summertime I prefer cold soups, like chilled pea or gazpacho!
I’m a big fan of soup no matter the season. It’s just too easy and, depending on the soup, filling to leave just for winter. However, I do prefer lighter soups – with lots of fresh veggies – in the summer.
Girl, I have been craving soups!! I love them but I have tried to stay away because it has just been so hot! Can’t wait to have a bit of cooler weather so I can try all kind of new soup recipes!
I hate to discriminate between the times of the year – I eat them all at all times during the year. I’m less likely to make homemade soup, though, in the summer.
I eat cold soup 🙂 Yummm cold tomato soup is so refrsehing!
This cold soup thing is new to me!
Really???
Oh, btw that’s a tortilla soup recipe from runnesr world that’s become one of my favorite cold soups lately. But yeah, any kind of ‘spicy’ soup I think tastes good cold. Creamy soups like cream of mushroom or something are gross cause they get all gelatin like… but thin brothed ones are good 😀
Good to know!
i love soup, but now that i think about it, i dont eat it much in the summer. must be my subconscious making sure i keep my core body temp down LOL
I love soup and can eat it all the time!!!
