Soup’s on
Soup is the most comforting, satisfying thing to me – especially in winter. My fave in the whole world is Ina Garten’s Cheddar Corn Chowder. Cheese, corn, onions, potatoes…um, bacon…what’s not to love? I sometimes use a little regular milk in place of the heavy cream and it’s plenty rich. I’ve made this soup about ten times over the last few years. Obsessed? Yep. Make it, you will not be disappointed.
Here are two more great winter soups, both from my one of my favorite food blogs, The Kitchn.
First up, Baked potato soup with bacon, onion and cheddar. No, not the healthiest, of course, but quite tasty.
Recipe note: it calls for two cups of bacon bits. I love me some bacon and the thought of buying bacon bits made me think, um, no. So, instead, I cooked an entire package of sliced bacon and made my own – but I didn’t end up with enough. I’d probably use bacon bits next time – Oscar Mayer makes some that seem less scary to me.
This soup is, of course, very filling. Pace yourself.

That Ina Garten chowder is awesome with wild rice instead of potatoes, too. I get wild rice from Native Harvest, I group I worked with over 25 years ago…their wild rice is totally unlike the sharp, hard, machine-harvest rice you find in grocery stores. Amazing! http://nativeharvest.com/node/173
