Saturdays At Shop This

Can you believe that October is coming to an end? I fear that "Mr. Shop This" and I had our last sundeck cocktail of the season last evening. It was a perfect 70 degrees, and we were totally alone, above Chicago. I wish you all moments like that. Here are my share worthy finds of the week.

Having a small Thanksgiving? Sadly, we will be having turkey for two. No matter who is coming to dinner, the table can still look special. These Fall Leaves Party Crackers will add a real pop to

Went out to dinner last weekend. The food was good and the company was great. But the mask on, mask off business was a bit annoying, but necessary. The event made me realize the handiness of a mask chain. Much better than fumbling for your mask in between sips and bites. BaubleBar has three good ones to shop.

Foodie Friday: Soup's On!

The leaves are falling and so are the temps starting tomorrow in Chicago. There's no better comfort food for cooler days than a big bowl of warm soup. These 15 recipes including the chicken soup will be so good for your body and soul. Scroll down to get your soup on!

Creamy Broccoli and Butternut Squash Soup With Cheddar Brie Pastries

This recipe had me at those cheese stuffed pastries! Even if you don't care for broccoli, I think that you will love this soup.

Half Baked Harvest

Butternut Squash Soup With Crispy Prosciutto

This recipe features a yummy contrast in textures and flavors. Think sweet pears, creamy squash and crispy prosciutto. Sweet, salty and very velvety.

Williams Sonoma

Black Bean Soup

One of my favorite soups. The best I have had is at Morton's Steak House. Haven't had it in years, but I would take it over a steak any day. And all of the extras that you see are like icing on a cake.

Love and Olive Oil

Tomato Chicken Vegetable Soup
This recipe is delicious, low carb, Paleo, and Whole30 friendly.
Heather Christo

Classic French Onion Soup
My absolute favorite soup! Early on in our marriage, I almost killed "Mr. Shop This" with my own homemade recipe. I was a little ( a lot) heavy with the butter. So from then on, we leave it to the professionals. And I want mine to look like this , always. It features both red wine and white wine. Wine not?
A Sassy Spoon

Creamy Wild Rice Chicken Soup

This recipe uses pantry staples, Autumn herbs and chicken breasts. It certainly is a meal in a bowl. Just add bread!

Half Baked Harvest

Creamy Buffalo Cauliflower Soup

We love cauliflower in my household. I roast it with grated parm and garlic at least once a week. So I know that this recipe would be a hit.

How Sweet Eats

Spanish Saffron Meatball Soup
The combination of orzo pasta and homemade meatballs makes this a filling and satisfying soup. The recipe calls for ground beef, but you certainly can use chicken or turkey.
The Seaside Baker

Spicy Pineapple and Shrimp Soup

Don't let the word "spicy" worry you. The spice comes from 1/2 teaspoon of Sriracha which is more smoky than spicy. But the flavors are balanced  with pineapple and honey. This looks fabulous!

A Beautiful Mess

Lime Crab Soup

"This easy soup recipe calls for limes, corn, chipotle chile, chicken broth, salt, crabmeat, avocado, cilantro, and cumin seeds. Serve with tortilla strips for a welcome crunch."Oh Yum!

Epicurious

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Gluten Free and Vegan

Have 30 minutes? Then you can make this simple but nutrient rich soup. It would be wonderful with a side of grilled cheese for dipping.

Minimalist Baker

Coconut Sweet Potato Lentil Soup With Rice

Oh what beautiful bowl! Tieghan states this soup is chock full of good for you ingredients, yet is also comforting and flavorful. I would agree.

Half Baked Harvest

30 Minute Asian Chicken Soup

This is just one big bowl of health. And it is true, chicken soup really is good for the soul. 

How Sweet Eats

Matzo Ball Soup
The secret ingredient to these Matzo Balls, which are slightly fluffy and perfectly firm is the chicken drippings added to the mix. Love this soup!

Food52

Smoked Bacon, Potato and Corn Chowder

Doesn't this just sound and look cozy? It is said the smokier the bacon the better.  A must make!

Gourmet Traveller

Phillips Soup Maker

Chunky or creamy, hot or cold, this awesome appliance will make any kind of soup for you. Read all about it at
