So, around a month or so ago we had some friends over, and we ate a chicken. It was good. After the meal, we had a leftover chicken carcass. Megan searched for recipes that used a chicken carcass, and found one. It was a chowder of some sort.

While eating this meal, I suggested that we eat more soups this winter. Megan thought it was a good idea, and that was that. Somewhere along the way, it was officially declare that Monday nights are Soup Night in the Okimoto household. The idea further developed to have, not only soup every Monday night, but a different soup every Monday night.

We’ve been fighting various sicknesses in the house for the past three and a half weeks, and so our Monday Night Soup Night program has been somewhat halted. But this week it started up, and while eating that meal I decided (being partly inspired by Mystie and also having Kari’s post floating around the back of my head) to blog about it, and to have Megan post the recipes for each week’s soup. So, there you go.

Something to look forward to.
