This is the THIRD time that it has snowed in Austin, TX since December.

I am in shock!

Unlike last winter, this one has been full of days with highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s and even 20s.

Because of that, Cohl and I have been eating A LOT of soup.

Making an enormous batch of Butternut Squash Soup, White Chicken Chili or this Roasted Tomato Basil Soup has been the only way we have been able to stay warm and healthy this winter!
