Mary at Deep South Dish - My soup is a Smoked Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup with Black-eyed Peas and it’s delicious! I can’t believe that I’ve not heard of this Soup Swap before! I added a link to my recipe to the Soup Swap site. What a cool idea. You bet I’ll be dropping some canned soup off at our local food bank. Thanks for letting me know and for giving us a chance to share our soup recipes virtually! Can’t wait to see them all.

Rebecca at Toothwhale - I’m looking forward to your bean and bacon soup recipe. Growing up and in college, I ate Campbell’s Bean and Ham soup all the time. When my husband and I were dating, and we went to the grocery store together, I bought the soup. Being silly one time, I said, “Bean and Ham, you’re coming home with me,” as I took a can off the shelf. He thought that was funny, and for years, he’d sometimes say to me, “Bean and Ham, you’re coming home with me.” It’s been maybe 15 years, and he still sometimes will say it, even though I haven’t eaten that soup in more than a decade. So, all that to say, it’d be fun to eat a bean and ham/bacon soup again.
