Soup

I am a big fan of soup, and here are the reasons:

• It's everything all at once
• It's a basic formula you can switch up depending what's on hand
• You can puree it and be fancy with a dollop of sour cream
• It's a low-calorie high-nutrient meal
• Stone Soup is a really good story
• It only tastes better the next day
• Usually the cheapest hearty thing on the menu
• It freezes well
• Soup is pretty
• Really good excuse to eat bread

I tend to make my old favorite soups year-round, but fall and winter is when I branch out and try new recipes. Today I made this chorizo soup with sweet potatoes. I substituted avocado for the spinach, and it is yummy. A great meal after going to the pumpkin patch!
