Creamy Corn Soup with Red Bell Pepper (take two)

Kristi is in town!  It was great to see her and catch up.  While usually Kristi, Heather, Maria and I do happy hour, we decided to do soup instead!  It worked out to do soup on Monday night best for everyone, so we did Monday soup.  I decided to take another shot at the Creamy Corn Soup I did a few weeks ago.  This is such an easy soup, it's almost all cans!  I made the soup with regular green chili's this time, if you recall I used an entire can of jalapenos last time, which made the soup too hot.

Heather brought chips and salsa... and guacamole!  I made the soup and margaritas!  It was great for us to all be together again.  Kristi has been working in California for the past year, so it isn't very often that we can all get together and gab.  Heather, Maria and I still do happy hour semi-regularly, we are always tyring new places in Portland and have found a few winners.  We met in college through Alpha Kappa Psi, the professional business fraternity. 

Maria, Kristi and Heather

Each one of us are strong, business minded, independent women.  We're able to encourage, support and push each other to be our best.  What is so great about this is the amount of respect shared between us which means we might not like what we're hearing, but we can appreciate it and then continue on.  It was a good soup evening indeed shared with good friends and good conversation.  We miss you Kristi!  And thanks for the flowers Heather!
