Ready to enjoy the Fall weather with some warm and cozy soup? We've got some perfect recipes on the blog!
With the chill of autumn finally here, it puts me in the mood to rummage through my soup recipes seeking comfort and warmth. Here in the South, we expect the cold snap about the first week of October, so I thought it’s the perfect time to share some of my favorites with you, along with the stories that brought them to me.
My recipe collection is like a menu of memories. Olfactory, or sense of smell and recollection, seem to be very tightly connected. Case in point: When I put on a pot of soup that my nana made for us when I was a child, the kitchen heats up with its savory, familiar aroma, and the lessons she taught me come flooding back.
Nana’s Great Northern Bean Soup is a comforting family favorite, but the gift that comes with the memory is her grandmotherly wisdom on nutrition, frugality, efficiency, and easy entertaining. She taught me that beans are healthy and cheap and that I should freeze my Easter ham bone. When an opportunity to serve dinner to a crowd presented itself, this was the recipe to use because it is hearty, inexpensive, cooks well in a slow cooker, and pairs nicely with cornbread.
Nana said that a simple meal is the secret to entertaining often and well. Guests enjoy the meal, and the hostess enjoys her guests.
