I went nuts at the St Paul Farmers Market on Sunday with root vegetables, which has resulted in 3 large batches of soup in 4 days (and I might be buying a freezer on my way home from work).
I have taken to making my own soup stock, which sounds like a big deal and totally isn't. Do it! Here is the link:

Throw it in before bed, and it is ready in the morning (if you are making a crock of soup). Throw it in in the morning, and you are ready for stove-top soup making after work. I am done buying stock, this is too easy and tasty, and no excess packaging!
Ok, so from there I made two recipes from the New England Soup Factory cookbook. This is a small soup shop in Boston (actually, there are at least 2 in Boston), anyway, it is one of the little things we get homesick for. On our last family trip there I picked up the cookbook, and it is great!

I made (for the first time), the sweet potato soup with carmelized onions, which was awesome. The onions were fairly quick and easy and delicious. And (for the third time) the spinach zucchini bisque with roasted leeks, which is a tobenandheather favorite.
The third soup was from:
