I love soup. I could eat it every day. Warm, hearty, goodness, especially on a snowy winters day......mmm:) I have almost completely eliminated canned soups from our cupboards. I still have the occasional cream soup stashed away for a casserole but I have been working on perfecting a homemade version to keep on hand for such occasions. Here is why I could eat soup every day....
- Endless possibilities. You can experiment and throw almost anything in a pot to make a delicious meal. Pretty much, I can't screw it up so what's not to like?
- Use up leftovers. Have a bit of meat leftover? Veggies in the crisper nearing the end of their life? Throw 'em in the pot!
- Easy to make tons. I love making a huge pot of soup and freezing some for a quick meal another day.
- Pack in those extra veggies. Soup is a great way to get an extra serving. Not that my husband and I have trouble eating veggies (we love them) but soup is just another way to enjoy them and get lots of them in one dish!
- Comfort food. Doesn't it just make you feel homey?
- Crock it. Throw everything in the crock pot and forget about it until you are hungry!
- Biscuits. I love pairing soup with warm biscuits, dripping with butter :)
We have a handful of favorite soup recipes that my husband requests and plenty more that I try out from time to time. My goal is to share those favorites over the next few weeks so you can enjoy them too! What is your favorite soup? Wanna share it here on One Acre Farm?
