This soup is on the menu this week for two reasons. Reason #1 - I bought bulgur wheat on sale a while back thinking, "Sure, I'll use bulgur wheat, I've heard that's good for you" and have yet to find a use for it. Reason #2 - the word "warm" in included in the name of the dish. Warm is good. When Baker, Bean and I took our walk this afternoon making sure to avail ourselves of the high temperature of the day, 22 degrees did not feel much like a high temperature. At least not if you live in the south. So, warm soup it is!

First of all, that soup recipe sounds yummy! Great for a cold winter night. Secondly, your little man is adorable! Reminds me of my son when he was a baby. Oh, how I miss those days! *sigh* He is in high school now, so take it from me. Cherish each day and every stage that he is in. (Even when he reaches the teen years!). Thanks for sharing!
