In summer, I want a big bowl of salad or fruit in the frig.
In Winter, I want a big pot of soup in the frig at the ready for any meal.
Do you feel the same?
A warm, enticing soup is the best medicine for a cold winter’s day. It is the opposite of an ice cold drink on a parched desert day. Soup acts as a warm salve to a cold exterior. It’s an inside comfort like those furry cuddle blankets we throw over ourselves in the winter. It feels right in all the right places.
I must admit I have one family member who describes soup as “good food drowned in water”. Somehow, I did not translate the soup gene to him. Or maybe my soups were subpar even though the rest of us liked them.
A family tradition for us is SOUP when we go skiing!
