Justin Timberlake's Homelessville skit is one of my favorites and is a great play on words for soup songs. Sorry the video is recorded. It's the best I could find.

Let me see that minestrone!

Anyway, even though the weather hasn't really been wintery or cold around here (right now, it's 65 degrees), I have been in the mood for soup.

It's warm, comforting and usually pretty good for you and filled with veggies.

Broccoli cheese soup is something that I always enjoy but have never made. I'm not a huge broccoli person, but I decided to pick some up at the grocery store the other day. Then, I found this super easy, super creamy recipe on foodgawker (http://foodgawker.com/) for broccoli cheese soup.

It's got 7 ingredients and can be whipped up in a flash!

For my next soup, I recently made an old classic in my family: my mother's chicken tortilla soup.

It's also comforting, full of veggies and chicken and has a kick from a can of rotel. Also, the crunch of homemade tortilla strips, fresh avocado and shredded cilantro make the soup a fantastic meal.

And it makes a big pot, which means lots of leftovers!
