It's Sunday so obviously I want to cook

I love this weather.  I do, I am a fall and winter person.  Summer makes me very angry, and the hotter it gets the meaner I am.  It's just a fact and most people who know me would agree.  SO with that being said, I also love soup.  I love all the different kinds, creamy, tomato based, broth, cheesy, sign me up, yes please.  So like the title said it's Sunday and I don't know why I always have this need to cook on Sunday, but I do, I'll own it.  My family has to just go with it and I don't care, it's not like they aren't fed!  So today I have been laying here and I have just gotten my burst of energy so I'm making soup today.  It's the first chilly day of the season and I'm soup ready.  I can actually feel how much I've missed soup weather........
So this what we are having, I love this soup and can't wait to make it.
