Soup season is upon us! I have so many favorite soups. I could eat it every day. My family wouldn't like that, though. lol There is something so comforting about eating hot soup on a cold day.

Each week I will post one of my favorite soup recipes for you. Here is this week's soup recipe….an Olive Garden favorite!

1 lb ground beef (I usually use 1/2 lb)
1 small onion, diced (1 cup)
1 lrg carrot, julienned (1 cup) sometimes I grate mine
1 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes, with liquid
1 15 oz can red kidney beans, with liquid
1 15 oz can northern beans, with liquid
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 12 oz can V-8 juice (or tomato juice works too)
1 TBL white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 pkg Ditali pasta (short macaroni tubes)

Brown the beef in a large saucepan. Drain off fat, if any. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic and saute for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except pasta, and simmer for 1 hour. About 50 minutes into simmer time, cook pasta according to directions until al dente, or slightly tough, about 10 minutes. Drain. Add the pasta to the soup and simmer for 5-10 minutes and serve. Serves 8.

If you find that it is too tomatoey, add some water until you find a consistency and taste you like. This recipe also freezes well. Enjoy!

As I said yesterday – I am a party person! And no Halloween party would be complete without GAMES! Here are some tried and true Halloween games that get my "KISS" (keep it simple, stupid) of approval:

1) Witches Stew Game – You simply cut out Halloween shapes (very easy if you have a Cricut®) and spread them around on the table. Put a bowl on the table for each team and give each team member a straw. On "GO" the players must suck up shapes and put them into the team bowl. Whichever team has the most "stew" in their bowl at the end of the time limit wins!

2) Mummy Wrap – This may be my favorite Halloween game because it's just so darn fun to watch. Divide players into teams of two and give each team a cheap roll of toilet paper. On "GO" one player from each team must wrap the other player in their roll of toilet paper – using every last square. Whichever team has the mummy wrapped first wins! You can make this trickier by having them wrap, unwrap and then switch.

3) Pumpkin Bowling – Simply fill six 2-liter bottles with water and set them up on the floor in a bowling triangle. Put a line on the floor where you want the players to stand and bowl. Use mid-sized pumpkins (pie pumpkins) to bowl over the bottles. Hilarious as they do not roll close to straight! Keep score if you want or just bowl for fun.
