#CookBlogShare Plus 4 Super Soups!

Hello and welcome to CookBlogShare week 42!

Wow how did we get to week 42? I cannot be the only one that feels like this year is flying by at an incredible rate! We are also in our last week of the first half term of the academic year and we are all looking forward to a week off work and school.

This month is National Cholesterol Month and throughout the month I am working with Heart UK and John West to promote a healthier diet and how your diet effects your cholesterol level. I have also pledged to complete the 100 Mile Challenge throughout the month. Exercise can help to lower your cholesterol and by completing the 100 miles during October I am showing how easy it is to raise your activity levels by making a few simple changes. You can read how I have been getting on during week 1, week 2 and week 3 in my Weekly Meal Plan posts. One simple way to help reduce your cholesterol levels is to include at least one meal of oily fish to your weekly meals. Over the last couple of weeks we have been having more tuna and salmon, plus with tinned fish it is quick and easy to add to a dish!

Before I go on to my four favourite recipes I have to tell you about a fantastic new giveaway. I am delighted to be offering one Hijacked By Twins reader the chance of winning a box of wine from Le Petit Ballon. To enter simply visit my giveaway post and enter the Rafflecopter.

Now onto this weeks CookBlogShare. Last week the linky was hosted by Eb at Easy Peasy Foodie and there were so many autumnal recipes coming through but it was the soups that really stood out. The four recipes that I have chosen are split into two sets that are equally as tempting as the other. Each set features the same dominant ingredient but have very distinct flavours.

Here are my four favourite recipes from week 41 of CookBlogShare..

First up is this vibrant coloured soup from Searching for Spice. This Roasted Garlic Beetroot Soup would go down an absolute treat in our house. I love the combination of beetroot and garlic!

Next up is this Creamy Curried Acorn Squash Soup from Flipped Out Food. Squash is such a perfect vegetable for soups. It adds a real creaminess to the dish and can be adapted in so many ways!

Following on with the brilliant beetroot is this Beetroot Soup with Kale and Fennel from Everyday Healthy Recipes. Fennel is a vegetable that the hubby and I love but do not have enough so I can see us trying this soup!

Last but not least is another squash soup, well pumpkin is a type of squash isn't it? Jo's Kitchen Larder shared her Spiced Pumpkin Soup. I can just imagine how divine each spoon is with the addition of fresh coriander!

I have a feeling that during the half term my soup maker will be out! If you missed any of these soups you must take a look!

Now on to this weeks linky. But first I would like to just recap some of the linky "rules". I like to think of CookBlogShare as a lovely, relaxed linky but there are a few points we do ask you to follow.
