Family Recipe Vault:: Soups for the Soul

Family recipe

This is the time of year when people start posting their amazing holiday recipes and sharing mouth-watering photos on social media. I will frequently comment and ask friends to share their recipe if it looks particularly delicious; however, I’m often met with…“no, that’s a secret family recipe.” My sons are 9, 7, and 4 and basically in arranged marriages to get some recipes.

Is your family recipe on lockdown? For the love of food…share the recipe!

I don’t get it. I understand the love and memories attached to recipes and food, but why not spread that love and tradition. Whenever I get a recipe from a friend, I put their name in the title and think about them every time I make that meal. Every time I make “Sarah’s Apple Pie,” I think about my friendship with her and when I first got to try her pie at a squadron function in North Dakota.  Now I get to have memories with my kids making her apple pie.

Here are some tasty soups that I think you’ll love, that were shared by my dear friends.
