Side tracked.. Surprise!

So.. Todays endeavours are none of the three previously mentioned - though I promise I will get to them..

Also - I know I promised better pics.. but I've already packed up my camera - so that deal is off till the move is complete.

It's cold today, as I'm sure everyone could tell.. so I stopped off at Quick Check and picked up some post-worth soups - Yes.. Soups.. I'm going 2/2 on soup meals today!

First up. Italian Wedding Soup. Probably my favorite soup and usually QC's best soup.

Today?

Sadly, it probably wasn't the best I've ever had..still good, of course, but there was something just a bit off about the blending of flavors between the chicken broth and the spinach..

Best guess.. Chicken broth, tiny beef meatballs, what i'm guessing to be acini di pepe from the look of them (the pasta), spinach, carrot, etc. etc.

wikipedia - The term "wedding soup" is a mistranslation of the Italian language, minestra maritata ("married soup"), which is a reference to the fact that green vegetables and meats go well together.

And the second dish- Tomato Basil
(take that!, planned Campbell's tweak!)

This. Was. Good. Haha..

This was really everything I hoped it would be..

A nice creamy tomato broth with a few tomato pieces.. nice basil hints, and amazing, buttery garlic bits..

I suppose there's not much more to say about pre-made soup.. So I'll end there today.
