Things are pretty crazy around here right now as I'm sure it is everywhere else. Somewhere between schedules, fitness, and seasonal changes, I seem to have gotten lost and have little to no spare time. With cooler weather starting to roll in, the light changing, and the days getting shorter, I'm all the more ready for fall and the peace and comfort that comes with it. Bring it on.
What puts you more in the mood for fall than a nice warm bowl of soup? Not just any soup though, but cheesy wonderful soup! This broccoli cheese soup is comfort food at it's finest. It's so easy to toss together, tastes amazing, and is full of vegetables. That's right, full of vegetables...
Whole Wheat Broccoli Rabe & Ricotta White Pizza
I haven't had broccoli too many times in my life. In fact, I could probably count on one hand the amount of times that I've eaten it. Now, that isn't to say that I don't like it. No, no, no. That isn't the case at all. It's just that rapini was never something that my parents cooked, so I guess it just never became a part of my personal food culture.
For a while now, I've been playing off and on with an raw food service that offers delivery of organic whole groceries directly from their farmers and/or local businesses to your house. Pretty nifty, right? Well, I always like to get their 'local box' which is loaded with different local seasonal produce each week. It's fun because I have gotten a lot of interesting new things to try. It's a fun little challenge for me as a home cook.
What can I say? I watch a lot of Chopped...

I gotta say, I'm a sucker for cheese! And I'm not cheese picky either, oh no-no. I will eat just about any kind of cheese that is out there. Blue, pink, soft, hard, sweet, sharp... You name it, I'll probably try it if I haven't already!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I'm weak for cheese. So what's a girl to do about this known weakness? Certainly not cut cheese out of my life. I mean... that's just cruel and unusual punishment.
Nope! This girl needs her cheese fix. So, instead I'll opt to pack as much veggies in with my cheese as I can and do a little Jedi mind trickery on myself.
This is -not- the cheese that you want... but, this is!...

This is the perfect soup to serve up for your next game day spread. Plus, it's so easy to customize!
Want to make it more kid friendly?
Swap the beer for more broth and leave out the jalapeño!
Looking for something with more of a kick?
Add in a pinch of cayenne, leave the seeds in the jalapeño, and a drizzle of hot sauce - I like Frank's!...
Crock Pot Spaghetti Squash Thai 'Noodle' Bowl
I am avoiding my oven like the plague right now, as I do every year about this time. Summer hits us hard in Texas and I'll do anything I can to keep from heating up the house with the oven.
This generally means that I turn to my handy crock pot(s) for assistance with cooking...
