The One Good Thing about Cold Weather (Audience Participation Post!)

I wore socks today for the first time in about 5 months.

I had a moment of silence for my sandals.

 I hate, HATE cold weather. In fact, this summer when we were experiencing our 289th day of one hundred plus temperatures, I was very careful to not let myself complain. When tempted, I would say to myself,  

Self, Remember last winter?! Now keep your mouth shut and you be thankful for that sweat pouring down your back and the scalding leather sticking to your skin! 

Today, September 16th, it is not even 60 degrees outside. I am really hoping this is some sort of fluke and that we still have some lovely, mild late summer/early fall weather coming. It is only fair to make up for the ridiculous winter of last year and the oppressive heat of the summer. I don't know if my sanity will hold if we dive right into miserable, dreary, soul-sucking winter.                                                             Source  

There is, however, at least one good thing about this upcoming season - the food. I love so many cold weather comfort foods, but when you are miserable and cold, nothing is better than a nice, hot bowl of soup. I plan on posting lots of soups this fall and winter. I have a few staples that I make, but I would love to experiment with some new recipes. 

So what I want to know from all you out there is: what are some of your favorite soups? And if you feel so inclined, leave a recipe! Many thanks. 

P.S. Here are a couple of my favorites previously posted: 

Aunt Judi's White Bean and Kale Soup
Tortilla Soup 
Minestrone

  1. I love potato soups. I would leave you a recipe if I could, but I just do it according to taste every time. I always use green onion and I like sprinkling cheese on top.

  2. Thanks for sharing. I love potato soups as well. I plan on making it several times this fall/winter! I think I'd like to try a potato leak soup. I've never used leaks before but I hear they make a good soup.
