Hello! I majorly failed at yoga today – but not in class because I never made it I was super proud of myself for getting there early – that never happens! But it turns out I was extremely early because I got the time of the class wrong. Fail. I didn’t want to sit and wait an hour, so I opted to run an errand and go home for a long walk and stretching. Now I have to get to class Friday for sure!
By the time I got home I was Starvin’ Marvin! The entire walk I was thinking about lunch. Tomato soup sounded amazing.
Maybe it’s because it’s “soup weather”, but I have been dreaming about tomato soup! What? 63 degrees is definitely soup weather around here!
I topped it with a few handfuls of cheddar soy chips…
and served it up with leftover roasted broccoli and very cheesy bread!
Lunch dessert is back in full force! I tried this new-to-me find – carob chips today.
Melted on top of Cinnamon Raisin PB. It was just okay. It’s not chocolate chips.
Question: What is soup weather to you?
I am big on salads in warm weather and soup when it’s cold like today
Jill says
Any weather is soup weather! Soup is the best. I could live on soup, especially with a side (or three) of that good-looking cheesy bread.
Carob is good too. In fact, too good for me to be able to keep it in the house. Like chocolate, it just kind of evaporates until it’s all gone.

Soup weather in Michigan? More around 30 or below, or it’s snowy 🙂 I wish I considered 63 chilly. I love egg salad sandwiches and watermelon in the summer 🙂
Catherine says
Soup weather is when the snow flies! When it hits the 60’s we break out the flip-flops and look forward to the spring farmer’s markets. Got to love Michigan!
Michelle says
I have a friend who swears by that soup! When I live by a Trader Joe’s someday I am going to try it.
I hate when you think that something starts at a certain time but really you have it all wrong. I went a whole day early to one of my kid’s dr’s apt. They looked at me like I was dumb, and I felt dumb!
I hope the Friday class works out for you! I am sure you won’t forget this time:)
Michelle says
I live in Boston so 63 is shorts weather! 🙂 Also, if it makes you feel better I was a whole week early to my doctors appointment today!
Kianni says
I tend to not like soup. But rainy cold weather it chili weather. I don’t like chili to be watery though, it has to be relatively thick. Soup..? Eh. Something to dunk my sandwich in maybe xP but really I tend not to like soup because it almost always causes an unsettled stomach for me. Canned homemade or..whatever else is in the middle, lol.
Amber K says
That is exactly what I was going to say! Not a soup fan either.

I used to get these yummy carob bars back in Canada, they tasted like “Eat More” chocolate bars…I am honestly not sure if those are Canadian only, but they were yummy! I think the sweetened ones are better, also! I just ordered some gluten free chips and am hoping they are okay…I love adding a teaspoon of them to my oats or tofu pudding!
Lauren says
For some reason, I think unsweetend carbo chips tastes like cigarettes. I usually skip them now and just go for the real thing.
Cassie @ Tofu Meets Her Match says
Ha, I just wrote a post about how oatmeal raisin cookies are NOT chocolate chip cookies! I like carob chips in frozen yogurt when I’m pretending to be healthy but you definitely can’t compare them to real chocolate.
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer says
You can NOT compare carob chips to chocolate! There’s no comparison!!
Karyn says
soup weather is below freezing! i hope i move somewhere where soup weather is in the 60s! it’s been in the 50s here and i’ve been sooooooo happy with that hahah!
Lauren says
63 is hot!!!! at least when you’ve experienced minnesota/wisconsin winter for the past 6 months it is! i usually don’t buy soup since for some reason every kind i try always ends up tasting the same…and i get uncomfortably full from it lol i have some sort of lentil soup once tho and it was amazing. egg drop and homemade chicken noodle soups are yummy too!
runeatrepeat says
I love egg drop soup!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Today is definitely soup weather, but oddly enough, I am craving a smoothie!
I almost bought carob chips at Whole Foods today! They were too expensive, so I settled for Target brand chocolate chips 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Target chocolate chips are totally better than these – you made a smart choice 🙂
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
I’m not a big soup person, but only because it doesn’t fill me up. I do love wonton, pho, and tomato soup (with a toasted cheese sandwich) though!
becca (bellebottoms) says
Soup weather to me is cloudy, with a slight drizzle….and about 50 degrees outside….I live in Texas, so I rarely get soup weather! 🙁 haha
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
Ohh I would totally make the same mistake re yoga myself! 😛
it gets pretty cold here during the winter so I’m all about stews, casseroles, and healthy pot pie type stuff. In fact I’m posting my healthy pot pie recipe this week! 🙂
come summer I love grilled seafood and veggies on top of raw salads. Smoothies too! 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I’m too lazy to make a pot pie, but I’d be more than happy to eat it if I could come over…
Jen G. says
I used to be allergic to chocolate (yeah, I know), so carob was my substitute. (And yes, I’m glad that I outgrew that allergy.) Carob’s definitely not the same, but sweetened carob chips probably wouldn’t be as bad as unsweetened.
runeatrepeat says
I would like to take a moment of silence to remember the days when you were allergic to chocolate. Sad, sad times…
Clare @ Fitting It All In says
60s is salad weather here! To me soup weather is around freezing and snowy or rainy.
Good to know the carob isn’t that great. I bet sweetened would be better?
janetha @ meals & moves says
That cheeseeeeey bread is calling my name. “JANETHA!”
Sweetened carob chips are better than the unsweetened ones.. (no shit, sherlock) but you are right, still not the real deal.
LOVE YOU!
runeatrepeat says
I love you 🙂 Hope all is well!
