Chicken Wild Rice Soup, Black Bean Soup, Pomegranate Salad

Another gross and rainy day leaves me feeling under the weather. That means soup. There are two kings of soup: chicken wild rice and black bean. The black bean has a little kick and the chicken and wild rice is a little heartier by virtue of being a bit thicker. Soup is so yummy and easy, I love it. To make a meal out of soup, sop it up with some french bread and pair it with a salad. Those gray skies don't stand a chance.
