Soup's On
January 9, 2020
At the grocery store where I work, we have Chef Cindy who develops, prepares, and samples recipes for customers – usually to feature specific products or for holidays or events. Every year, she takes off the month of October, which she spends at Cape Cod recharging her personal batteries in preparation for the craziness of the busy holiday season. When she returns in November, she always says, “I’m in a soup-making mood!”
But my Dad z”l didn’t wait for the weather to turn chilly; he ate soup all year long. He always said that you can judge the quality of a restaurant by its soup. Any place that can’t make a good bowl of soup, can’t do anything else well either. My Dad was a really smart guy.
I agree completely with him. I also eat soup in all weather and almost always order soup when I eat out. A cup of soup is often the healthiest option for a first course, especially when most of the appetizers on the menu are fried. For me a bowl of soup and a small sandwich is a perfect lunch.
Soup is easy to make, freezes well, and defrosts quickly – an ideal dish for a busy life. Here are some tricks to making all your soups extra delicious.
