Every year right around this time I start to question why I live in a place that is literally colder than Mars. Truth is I love Winnipeg and always have, the trick to loving it is learning how to cope with the exotic weather, and for me nothing screams cold winters like a nice bowl of soup. Anybody who has seen me cooking soup will know that I love making soups, and I’m not just talking about the turn the can opener and plop in a bowl and microwave. I truly love making soups, so I went on the hunt for a soup that could keep me warm. It didn’t take long to find this awesome Paleo soup from http://www.mynaturalfamily.com
Yes I’m aware Sriracha isn’t Paleo (added sugar), but have you ever tried the stuff? It’s amazing, as far as I’m concerned it can do no wrong.

My favourite part of cooking is making a mess… never fails I always forget I’m the one that has to clean it up.
