This is what we woke up to this morning. It started snowing last night but I was surprised when I got up and saw the winter wonderland. It only snowed a couple of inches but the trees were so pretty. 
I made a batch of Turkey Minestrone today. I have plenty for lunch this week which will be a nice take and grab in the morning. 
Turkey Minestrone2 tsps olive oil
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced potatoes
1 cup green beans trimmed and sliced in 1" pieces
1 clove minced garlic
chicken stock to cover
2/3 cup small elbow macaroni
1 can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
1/2 cup canned chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup cooked diced turkey
Heat oil in a heavy dutch oven. Add next 4 ingredients and saute a couple of minutes. Add stock and tomatoes, and simmer until veggies are done. Season with salt/pepper. Add cooked pasta and turkey.
I sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.

Looks like a great soup for a cold day! I've gotta go view your profile and see where you are, so much snow. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Your soup looks wonderful and I'd love to have your snow right now!
Have a wonderful week.
I can almost smell the soup. Mmmmmm, good.
My cake came out great. I was so happy about that. Yeah!
My cold is on it's last legs. Thank goodness, I will be so glad when it is finally all gone.
Have a great Sunday.

Your snow fall is so pretty! This is soup weather, for sure! It snowed here this morning but hardly. It has now turned to rain.
We took our umbrellas to church then when we drove home, it poured. We stopped at McDonald's for some food to take home. We are tired of turkey at this point. Ha! Ha! We can always eat it tomorrow. Enjoy your snow.
Hugs,
Cheryl
you know I love when the trees are like that--I simply cant get enough of the view. We are snowing right now--we beat the snow home. Supposedly, we could get 5-9 inches. Our daughter is on her way back to her place which is another 2+ hours of driving so I hope she beats the snow to.
I so wanted to make a pot of turkey soup--but while we were gone--my oldest son and daughter-in-law came over and finished all the turkey! They even took the container it was in! lol--they had the nerve to call us and tell us they ate it all! It was good though, I would have done the same!
I do so love snaow. Your pictures are so beautiful!!! i am going to make your yummy soup. I need something hot for tomorrow as it is turning clod here in Ky. I am so glad i found your blog...m..
Judy,
I hope you have a wonderful afternoon all snuggled up and keeping warm.
Love Melissa
Now all your snow-laden trees need are some big red ornaments! Today driving home from shopping, I saw a tree in a neighbor's yard with big ornaments hanging from the limbs, and I thought, why haven't I done that before???

Those photos of the trees were beautiful! All the ingredients for your turkey minestrone soup sounds like it makes for a tasty bowl!
Hi Judy, I love the photos of your snow covered trees. They look so festive. Its freezing in the UK so a bowl of your soup would do nicely just now. You must try a Snowball if you get the chance. I was laughing at your spelling of it it is Advocaat (I think it should be pronounced Advokat but I say Advocar) Its a rich and creamy liqueur made from eggs, sugar and brandy. It has a smooth taste that is similar to almonds, it tastes like marzipan (I think that is almond paste in the USA) Im not sure. X
What a wonderful sprinkling of snow! That soup looks pretty good too!
Hi Judy,
Love that snow (just not here)!
Your minestrone sounds great. It is pretty warm here-77. I will add it to my "when it gets cooler here" list.
Hugs,
Barb

How pretty! We have had some snow over the weekend while we were at the cottage. I love it when the snow paints the trees!
My but that soup looks so yummy! I think I need to go get more turkey so I can try it. :)

The soup looks wonderful and delicious! Just the thing for a cold, snowy day.
Your snow pictures are beautiful. I love looking at pictures of the snow, but I don't much want to go out in it anymore. It's a good thing I live where it rarely snows!
Such beautiful trees!!! We got a couple of inches but they melted quick!
Yummy looking soup!
Have a great day!
Kim

Hello Judy,
I'm happy you had a great thanksgiving. Your soups sounds so good.

Hi Judy, your soup looks delicious! I'll be making that very soon!
Yoo-hoo! Judy! Come and see what I have for you over at my place!
(The soup looks delish!!!)
Its cold here...I sure could use some soup...Meme
This soup reminds me of when my sweet neighbor called us with an invitation to come over for hot (homemade)turkey soup.
It was a delicious and welcomed surprise after an exhausting day working at the holiday show, where the heater was broken.
Sweet Wishes,
Sara
