To me, fall just says soup. We eat soup all year round, of course, but as the air gets brisk and the leaves start to turn, something in me just wants more and more soup. We have a handful of soups we make over and over, but I love it when I run across a new, delicious recipe to add to the rotation.
Today’s Wednesday Real Food Recipe is a little different. Today instead of featuring a fellow blogger, I’m featuring a recipe from eMeals. Have you heard about these guys? They are brilliant, I tell you! They do all the meal planning for you and give you a shopping list, the work is all done for you. It just doesn’t get any better than that!
This soup is one of their recipes, and it was a big hit at our house! They also provide recipes for the side dishes to go along with them, and this cornbread was simple and yummy. The entire meal came together in about half an hour, perfect for our busy night!

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
