Oh fall . . .
I am loving all the beautiful leaves, the cooler sunny days, the pumpkin-flavored everything, and getting the chance to wear my boots and sweaters.
However, I am not loving the fact that it’s coming to an end so quickly! I just saw the weather forecast for the next few days . . .
Snow.
I am freaking out a little! Snow for Halloween is not my favorite!!!
When we were growing up, my mom would always plan our Halloween costumes around our winter coat- we usually had to be something that you could wear a coat over or under and it looks like this year is shaping up to be something similar.
So while the snow falls down on my freshly carved jack-o-laterns, I will be whipping up a bowl of this yummy soup.
This soup is a copycat from one of my favorite restaurants from Logan, UT called Juniper Takeout. Now that we don’t live there anymore, I tried to recreate it as close as I could. It turned out pretty good!
