Genuine food for the soul is homemade chicken noodle soup. There’s just something about a pan of slowly simmering soup on the stove . . . lets everyone know that dinner is in the works. And before long we gather around the kitchen table for nourishment and share the highlights of our day. Simple times!
Some of my favorite soups:
- Chicken Noodle Soup
- Wild Rice Soup
- Minestrone
- Shrimp Gumbo
- Gazpacho
- Creole Corn Chowder
- Chile Bean Soup
- Lentil Soup
- Tortilla Soup – Thanks, Dean Fearing!
- Texas Black Bean Soup
