This past Saturday, it was cold, rainy, and dreary. The kind of day where you want to cozy up on the couch in your sweats with a fuzzy blanket and eat a warm bowl of soup. I’m not talking about watery canned soup – I’m talking about a thick, creamy soup that is hearty AND […]

My family loves chicken noodle soup – especially on a cold, snowy day! When my kids were smaller, nothing was more comforting than a big pot of soup simmering on the stove all afternoon while the kids were building snow forts and sledding. They would troop into the house, all snowy and wet. As soon […]
