Time to break out the soup pots and crocks to fill with steaming goodness! Root vegetables, rejuvenating stock, noodles and pasta, thick gravy, rich beans and lentils – all the ingredients to keep it warm inside while the snow is falling outside.
Soup is the perfect opportunity to get veggies and healthful spices into the family AND fill the house with wonderful aromas. Hearty stews are the recipes I dig for when the snow is piling up and I want something rich and filling!
