soup season

Three recipes are calling to me right now, and all of them are soups. Perhaps I can feel it in my bones that the weather is about to nosedive, or perhaps I'm getting a cold - hopefully neither. Maybe if they sound good to you, too, then I can verify that their appeal has nothing to do with the weather or my general health!



1) Black Bean and Pumpkin Soup, from Smitten Kitchen. I wasn't all that into it until she started raving about it so much, and after reading through the entire post, it's all I can think about. I'm also a sucker for anything pumpkin, as you know.



2) Mushroom and Farro Soup, also from SK. Tim would never forgive me for this one, but it looks super flavorful and nourishing.



2) Garlic Soup - from 101 Cookbooks, which calls for 10-15 cloves of garlic. Good thing I already have a boyfriend.

I'll give you guys reviews as soon as I get around to making them. Anyone want to come over for taste tests?
