Hot Soup on a Cold Day




We all know what it is like in the middle of Winter to come in from the cold and try to warm up. Nothing seems to work except for a cup of hot chocolate and  a bow of hot steamy chicken soup. The weather outside is brutal especially in New York and I don't care what borough you live in, there is nothing like the" hawk" whipping around the corners of those tall gray buildings and  concrete sidewalks.

God forbid if you left home without your hat and gloves or scarf you  be real trouble.  The tears running down your cheeks turn to ice sickles and your eye brows freeze.  The worst part is waiting on the bus and finding out that your bus is running late.

I am sure that many of you have similar situations and stories  but the fact of the matter is that when you get home all is well when you can sit down to a bowl of hot soup be it chicken noodle, beef vegetable, chili. potato, corn chowder etc.

Winter is the perfect time of you can cuddle up with family get to know each other better, share ideas and read a good book and just enjoy being home.

It doesn't take much to make a chicken soup all you need for the basics such as:
  1. Boneless, skinless chicken
  2. Chicken broth
  3. Vegetables you have on hand
  4. celery/onion
  5. salt/pepper to taste
To this soup, you can put whatever you wish and have on hand into a pot.  If you have noodles you can put them in, rice or even beans, there is no right and wrong in this matter just be creative and you will have a really good pot of soup to keep you warn this Winter season.
