Soup for Breakfast

I recently got on a French onion soup kick.  Over about a monthlong period, I had it (multiple times) at several locations including Texas Land & Cattle, Jason's Deli and La Madeleine's.  I've made my own and also just popped open a can of Campbell's in an effort to quench my craving.  French onion was my soup of choice during this most recent binge, but I love just about any soup.  Urban Crust, which is located within walking distance of my office has some of the best.  My favorite there (so far) is the  roasted red pepper soup.  It is definitely in my top 10 list now, I just wish they made it more often.  Even our waitress told us it was the staff's favorite.  I've also had their roasted green pepper soup, Tuscan sausage and roasted potato soup and spring pea soup and all were fantastic.  A couple of months ago I had the roasted poblano soup at the 15th Street Cafe, which is a tiny little hole-in-the-wall diner also within walking distance of work, it was so good I ended up buying some to go and having it the next day.  For breakfast.  That's the catch.  I would actually love to have any of the above mentioned soups for breakfast, but most places are not ready to serve theirs until lunch, which is when normal people apparently eat their soup.

One answer to that is to make my own soup so that I can eat it whenever I want.  Recently I made a pot of stuffed bell pepper soup (above - thanks Pinterest!) and I had a bowl.  For breakfast.  This is not the first time I've eaten soup for breakfast and it won't be the last but I've yet to find anyone who admits to substituting a bowl of soup for a bowl of oatmeal in the morning.  Surely I can't be the only one.
