Tortellini Tomato Bisque and a Giveaway Recipe

I don’t know where to begin for today’s post! There are so many exciting things happening at The P and P Kitchen this week! I have a.d.d. of storytelling. I got a new camera lens, I have hit one year (on and off), I bought a smaller size in jeans, and oh yes I have a GIVEAWAY to celebrate it all!!! Ok, let me take a breath here and tell you all the fun things going on in a logically organized manner.

Let’s start with the new camera lens. As my faithful followers will remember this summer I posted how I was frustrated and struggling with my photographs. My dear husband finally got tired of my cursing and lamenting over how much “I hate this stupid camera! It is too hard to use and it never does what I want!” (that is an exact quote) He bought me a really nice close-up lens and the guy at the photo store was very kind and patient with me and showed me some tricks. The goal: each post going forward will look better and better!

I have been blogging for one full Calendar year now!!! I know I have had to take time off a few times over the past year, but I fully intend for that to never happen again! (Everyone keeps their fingers crossed that the pain NEVER returns!) The only good thing about being sick this year has been that I have lost a lot of weight! So I am 3 sizes smaller than when I first moved to Kansas City!!! Now that I am feeling better I am getting my appetite back and I need to watch it! (kinda hard to do when you are blogging!) So for all these great milestones in my life, I wanted to celebrate with you and offer you a chance to win The Latest Kitchen Idea’s very first Giveaway!

Ok so now on to the recipe! Whoa, I bet you thought I’d never get to it! Told you a.d.d of storytelling today! This is a take on my BFFs from Nashville mom’s tomato soup! I make the Sweitzer Tomato Soup ALL the time! For today’s post, I changed it up a bit. It usually has fresh basil leaves, but I was going for a bit of an Italian spin on it.

Mrs. Sweitzer, Thank you for the base of this great recipe! My husband loves this soup!!
