Thank you for a lovely chard soup recipe! I will have to modify it since I don’t have a whole chicken, but the rest I have and I’m going to fix it tonight! Love the flavor profile!

Glad you enjoyed it! This week I made a red lentil Indian soup from Splendid Soups (see sidebar). Awesome!!

Delicious! I made the soup according to the recipe but doubled the chard because I had bought too much. It was wonderful for dinner and for leftovers-lunch.

@Matt

Nicely done! And yes, I agree with you and @Allie, soup is "soup"er affordable. (Okay, that was lame. But give me a break, it's early ;).

Freezing is a great idea! Plus you also have something for those nights you just don't feel like cooking. Great emergency food.

Don't be intimidated by the ingredients, most of them are pretty basic. Feel free to leave the chicken out and you have a healthy vegetables soup. In that case, use 6 cups of broth rather than 4 c. broth + 2 c. water.

I'm jealous! Soup is the perfect food for winter. I've been so busy working on my new website that I am on the 10 minute dinner plan almost every night and haven't had time to make another soup.

Definitely making another one this weekend though!

Thanks for your advice!

I’ve been making almost one soup (or stew) per week for a month or two now…definitely good in this chilly weather! I like to just make up a recipe as I walk through the farmer’s market or grocery store since I’d say it’s pretty hard to mess up a simple soup. This week was chicken stew, last week was tomato kale soup, and last month there was a pretty good cauliflower bean soup.

Doug- I usually bring my soup to work in the glass pyrex containers that come with tupperware type lids. I’ve never had them leak (the lids are pretty tight) but I do try to keep them semi-upright in my bag. Also, they’re great containers for reheating since it’s just like having a glass bowl.

Matt- You’re right…soups are super cheap and oh so yummy!

At first I was a bit taken aback by all the ingredients on your list; but I guess it isn’t that bad, so maybe I’ll give your soup a try!

Freezing doesn’t hurt the soups and chilis I’ve frozen. To reheat them I add a touch of water and either re-boil them or microwave them. And they last for months without the taste being destroyed. It’s great so that you don’t have to eat the same thing for a week just to justify the volumen of food you’re making.

How funny, I made a bean & vegetable soup last night. It's definitely soup season...

One other benefit of making soup is that it can often be very inexpensive! =)

Really, you can freeze it and it will be okay?! I had no idea. I could actually use some soup, I’ve started to come down with a sore throat and a sniffle. Is it true that soup will help, or is that only a wives tale?
