I have used several of these recipes before but I have now saved this post with them all together. I have printed a couple of them to make in the next few weeks.

I sent my daughter your recipe for Crock pot French onion soup and she loved it. We made this soup several times at my husbands request. Onions are so delicious in the beef broth we always double up on this recipe. We call this an eat today and enjoy later in the week meal. Your recipe for Cheesy broccoli was delicious, and so was your Taco soup.
Sandra says
The cheeseburger soup is my husband’s all time favourite. Can’t get enough of it. We’re out here on the wet west coast, no snow but the soup still fits the bill for comfort food .

Hi Sandra,
A stick to the bone soup like this works almost anywhere.

As a Michigan gal myself I was thrilled to get the recipe again for the soups. I had tried the Broccoli Cheese Recipe and it was a keeper! Today a great day for a warm hearty easy to make yet delicious and filling. Dr. Dan maybe you could create a good tomato basil soup? Quite hearty and good with a grilled cheese some evening:) Thank you for the time taken to provide these recipes!

Hi Linda,
Welcome to the blog.
I was "due" to do this post a few weeks ago but we hadn't had snow for weeks. I saw the forecast so brushed it off for today.
I do have a tomato basil soup that I just published last week. I didn't include it in this roundup since I just published it. https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/tomato-basil-soup/

Actually, we have agreed to leave February 22 and will try to stretch the trip until March. We are returning to Kalamazoo, our hometown. We have some excited children and grandchildren. It’s a change of lifestyle, but we did it before when moving to Florida. We sold turnkey so we will just pack the car and leave.
DrDan says
Ahh, the south snow/tornado belt. Be careful on I-94 around there. I'm near Grand Haven.

Joan says
It looks good! We are moving back to Michigan after 25 years in Florida. I know the soup recipes will come in handy.
DrDan says
Hi Joan,
OK, I'll bite, where in Michigan and hopefully not for a few months.
