Soup - The Key to Winter Survival
In the deep depth of Winter, when the snow is deep, and the winds chilly, I find myself taking solace all too frequently in a warm bowl of soup. There are literally thousands of soup recipes, some complex, but many more, so simple they can made is just 30 or so minutes. And of course, so flavorful, they’ll blow you away. Whether as a starter, or a main course, there are ton of options to satisfy the pickiest of eaters, and the most creative culinarians. I’ve picked a bunch of my all time favorite soups, and organized them below in the classics (which everyone should learn how to cook), the simple and easy soups you make even after a long day at work, and the slightly more complex, that take a bit more time, but pack a huge payoff in flavor! I’m sure you’ll find a least a couple worth making!
