Is the changing weather arousing a desire in you to hunker down with a warm bowl of soup? Here are some tasty, easy soups we've begun making around here.
Split pea and barley
Does that army-fatigue green color turn you off? Think you don't like this kind of soup? Think again. Recipes abound, some people like to throw in a ham hock, some like the addition of bacon and some like to keep it strictly vegetarian, anyway you make it, it's hearty, healthy and tasty!
White bean & chicken chili
I've had many a white chili but this blew all former contenders out of the water. You may think the addition of greens is odd, but it's actually quite fabulous. If you don't have chard, try spinach, beet greens, or if you're a fan, kale.
Roasted tomato
Sounds simple, but I've made this soup at least three times in the past 2 weeks. It's just that good. Tomatoes are plentiful this time of year and this can be made with any kind or a combo of kinds. I must add that as written it is super decadent. I've made it with just 1T of the recommended butter and a touch of half and half in place of heavy cream and it is phenomenal, so save yourself the calories!
Want bread to dip? Think you can't make a beautiful and tasty artisan loaf? I implore you to pick up a copy of My Bread and try it. All you need is a dutch oven (that's a covered pot like you might cook pasta in) and the ability to read. Seriously. (And yes, there are more highbrow ways of making bread, but this method really can't be beat if you've always wanted to give making your own bread a whirl but have been afraid...you can get highbrow with the great Breadbaker's Apprentice down the road.)
