Mom goodies giveaway: Win an Amy's foods gift bag
In the hierarchy of comfort foods, for me, tomato soup rules. Growing up, on cold days my mom would serve it to me and my sister for lunch, with Ritz crackers. It's still my go-to winter eat and, bonus, I can down gallons of the stuff and it won't pork me up. Max is a major soup man; he thinks it's fun to eat, and I love how it encourages him to feed himself.
For all of you soup fans out there, here's a treat: The nice people at Amy's natural foods have offered up three gift bags, each worth $50. You get the market bag shown here filled with:
1 Amy's Spanish Rice & Red Bean Soup, 1 Amy's Chunky Tomato Bisque, 1 Amy's Southwestern Fire Roasted Vegetable Soup, 1 Amy's Tuscan Bean & Rice Soup, and three coupons each good for a free Amy's item, frozen or grocery. Plus, lots of cool extras: An Amy's soup mug, t-shirt, notepad, magnet, coloring book, soy crayons and pen.
To enter, leave a comment about your favorite kind of soup!

I'm a HUGE Amy's fan. I'm a vegetarian, so her soups are the best thing ever to me! I have two favorites... the Tomato Alphabet soup and the Tuscan bean and rice (watch for onion breath though!).

In the summer I like cold soups like gazpacho...in the winter nothing beats a good beef & vegetable soup!
ReplyDeleteAnd I just followed you on Twitter :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway - Amy's makes very high quality and delicious foods.
ReplyDeleteWell, soup is usually associated with a cold winter's day and therefore, my favorite is a hearty mushroom barley soup, which, of all the soups around, seems to be the most fitting for a cold day.
Of course, if mushroom barley is not available, cream of mushroom will do the trick as well.

I would like corn chowder
ReplyDeleteI'm a big soup fan. I particularly like vegetable soups as I rarely make them at home.
ReplyDeleteI love all soups - especially those that feature beans.
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy for any kind of soup with rice. I blame Really Rosie.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite soup? OMG - the lentil soup made by my Colombian friend's abuelita. Can't get that from a can! YUM!

ReplyDeleteOne favorite soup that tops them all is my mother's matzoh ball soup; now mind you, she converted to judiaism and mastering a kick ass matzoh ball soup is no easy feat even when you're born into it, but she nailed it and it's been a constant in my life for over 40 years! Leah : )
ReplyDeleteMy favorite soup now
ReplyDeleteis green and lumpy,
but as a kid I hated it

I love Miso soup, I even have it for breakfast sometimes. The soup that brings back the fondest memories though would be borscht. My dad would make it every weekend when we were growing up. As adults if we were sick or in the hospital he would also make us some borscht and bring it to us.
