It is soup weather. Just lovely. During this time of year I am happy just eating soup. French Onion is my favorite. But there are so many different soups to try I am not going to limit myself. I decided on a cauliflower, bacon and cheese soup. It also tastes really good if you omit the bacon and cheese and add a bit of curry spices to it.
