We’re in the middle of a brutal cold snap here in the Northeast, and winter has just begun, so we have many weeks of freezing weather ahead of us.
That means it’s the perfect kind of weather to cook up a big pot of soup or stew. Few things warm the body and soul more than a steaming bowl of delicious, homemade soup.
Of course I’m not talking about a thin gruel of mostly broth with just a few veggies or morsels of meat thrown in. I’m talking about a lip-smacking blend of ingredients that’s so thick you can practically stand your spoon up in it – a true meal in a pot.
That's the kind Mom always made.
I have loved soup ever since childhood when she would make up huge pots of steaming goodness using the leftovers and bones from a roast to create a meat-based broth or vegetables a bit past their prime to make her minestrone.
And I love soup now just as much as a cook and household manager. After all, there are few meals that are more economical than a big pot of soup.
And there are few meals that are easier for a cook to put together.
