Cold weather and hot soup are synonymous. Soups are soul-satisfiers; they feel familiar, comfortable. And they’re versatile, serving as the perfect entrée or starter. My four favorite soup recipes are no exception. If you opt to make a pot of the oyster chowder, add warm, crusty brown bread, and you have a filling meal. Same goes for the crab bisque, which is the most time consuming recipe but also the most sophisticated. To the sweet potato soup, add a mixed green salad for a filling lunch. The chicken noodle soup is my all-time favorite because it’s so easy to make and is the healthiest soup of the bunch.
So dig out your pots and wooden spoons, and get that pot boiling.
