I Love to Make Soup



Yesterday morning it snowed ...
and I made soup.  I did not have a recipe, but then I never do.
I just threw things in a pot, some cut up chicken, carrots, celery, parsley,
and onion.  I let the broth simmer for a couple of hours.  I strained the
broth and returned it to the pot.




Meanwhile I sauteed some mushrooms and sliced carrots and added
them to the pot with some leftover brown rice.  I put it all in jars and
put them in the fridge.  I always think that soup tastes yummier the next day.
So ...




We had it for dinner tonight.  It was warm and comforting.
We will need it.  Tomorrow morning it is supposed to snow again.

Back in January we were saying "What happened to winter?"
Now it's March and we are saying "What happened to spring?"

Bentley had soup too.  He's already in bed under our down comforter.
What a life!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    I would love some snow right now. It's Autumn and we are getting temps in the 30's,it's very strange.

  5. The weather is ridiculous here in Chicago! We'll be having another 80 degree day today. I don't think I'll be making any soup...maybe I'll have ice cream though!

  6. I know what you mean about making soup. It is so comforting when it's cold out and the house smells so good. Is that a photo of your kitchen? Cozy!
