EVERYONE LOVES SOUP!
When it comes to soup, one can never get enough. I think that’s a very famous Chinese proverb. (Isn’t it?) Well, if it isn’t, it should be, because soup is awesome and delicious and good for you. No matter what your preference or dietary restrictions are, there is bound to be a soup in this post for everyone. Maybe you like a thicker, stew-type soup. If you do, I suggest the Split Pea Soup or the Beefless Stew.
If you like sipping, broth soups, try Poor Man’s Soup. I like all soups, but if I had to choose, I’d pick the thicker, heartier soups. The good news here is that my Best Comforting and Cozy Soup Recipes list has all of the bases covered. Now, cook on, Dear Reader; cook on!
