Today was rainy and windy and a bit chilly, too, and all day the weather had me thinking about Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.
So, in order to properly ring in the season of leaf-less trees and warm woolen mittens, I made soup and buttermilk drop biscuits for dinner. I just finished my second bowl and am feeling quite satisfied. These sorts of meals could change my general dislike towards ‘blustery days’…
When I was growing up, my mom would make the most delicious chili on cold days. What is your go-to cold weather food? The recipe I made tonight wasn’t chili, but it was pretty similar: tomato-based soup with garlic, onion, cranberry beans (this was the first time I’ve cooked with these, and they were really good!), fresh herbs, zucchini, mushrooms, and rice. Yum. And the biscuits were a recipe from Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. We’ll be eating those for breakfast, too, with honey and a cup of coffee. Mmmm..
We hope your next blustery day includes a bowl full of soup and a house full of love!
M&S
Your soup looks yummy and so do the biscuits
I never make hearty soups until Fall brings in blustery days. I will be making a hearty minestroni this weekend as our temps fall into the 30′s
