    Welcome to November! Are you ready for cold and snow? I'm not! You may have noticed that I completely blew past Halloween recipes, but I always do. My 7-year-old knows I don't like to bake and I'm not at all crafty, so I just stick to the savory recipes. Now that November is here, it's the perfect time for Warm Avocado Shrimp Soup! I had been wanting to make this for a long time, and I don't know that I've ever been more sorry that I put something off. This soup is amazing! It's creamy, full of baby shrimp, topped with crumbled bacon (I HIGHLY recommend this!), so easy to make, and ready in about 25 minutes.

    I could, and do, eat soup all year long, whether hot or cold soups. It seems the last time I shared a soup recipe here was in March, Roasted Parsnip, Carrot and Garlic Soup. Pumpkin Soup is also a favorite of mine this time of year. This Warm Avocado Shrimp Soup, however, might just be my new all-time favorite! I wanted to make it as a hot soup, so that it would be perfect for serving as a starter for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, but I tried it cold and it's really good that way, too. I know there are some people out there that don't like avocados, but I really think you should give them another chance this time. The same goes for the shrimp, sometimes it's just how you have a certain ingredient prepared that makes all the difference.
