Creamy Mushroom Soup is flavorful and filling with 3 different kinds of mushrooms AND of course we like to make it healthier around here too! 

We’re happy it’s Friday and even more happy that Miss Nichole from Pure Clean Fitness is here to hang out with us! I love having her visit and inspire our fitness!! We’re excited to share our Creamy Mushroom Soup plus Miss Nichole has a Jump Rope Circuit for us too. 🙂 

Creamy Mushroom Soup sometimes a creamy bowl of hot soup is the best medicine for those January winter nights!  Although, I have to admit that our January has been more like April weather- 55 degrees and sunshine is SO strange for us.  But we are “supposed” to be getting snow this weekend, so it’s time to start pulling out those stock pots.  

Creamy Mushroom Soup is one of the many delicious vegetarian soups we love. . .  you might also enjoy our Greek Fasolatha Soup, Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons, and French Onion Soup with Baguette!

 Miss Nichole’s Jump Rope Circuit. . .

There are so many different styles of working out. I have get asked which is the best, well the best is which ever style you are going to do. I am one that likes to mix it up with a few different approaches, it helps me from getting bored. One style of workout that I incorporate often into my workout is circuit training.

Creamy Mushroom Soup is a comfy-cozy, mouth-watering delight! We hope you’ll enjoy some this weekend. 

Happy Fit Friday!!

Much Love and Peace~
