From the Editor

Dear $$firstname$$,

I look forward to taking each new Taste of Home magazine issue home for my husband, Louie, to look over. He loves to eat—and to cook! Stretched out on the couch with the February/March magazine, he went on and on about the winning recipes in our soup contest, saying we should try every one.

First on his list was hearty Cheeseburger Paradise Soup. Next day, I stopped at the store for the ingredients, and that night we made the soup. We loved the flavor—a little jalapeno pepper gives it a nice kick! Now we’re working our way through the other 11 winners, but Louie’s declared Cheeseburger Paradise Soup his new all-time favorite! You should give the recipe a try if you haven’t already.

It’s been about a month since your February/March magazine arrived, brimming with delectable “comfort foods” like soups, casseroles and thick sandwiches. As always, we saved some extra recipes for Taste of Home Plus, including more slow cooker favorites, spring feasts featuring lamb and several more comforting soups. You’ll also find light and easy menu ideas and family pleasing appetizers and snacks. Bonus features include easy lighthearted loaves to add fun to a soup-and-sandwich meal, more tips by the spoonful from fellow readers and a helpful primer on bread machines.

Curious about your April/May magazine? Don’t miss the sneak preview.

Soup’s On!

SIPPING soup from a bowl or a mug couldn’t be more comforting on a chilly, blustery day. These delicious yet hearty favorites will keep you supplied until spring!
