Unfortunately, I am not very good at making one. The only decent soup that I can make is barley soup. But I am not in the mood for barley soup. This cold weather calls for a hearty soup and I don't know how to make one.
I wish my mom was here now, but she is 1000's of miles away.
I think I should stop the self pity though!
For heaven' sake, I work in a library. Thousands of wonderful soup recipes are just a few shelves away.
So I am getting myself some cookbooks and I am gonna learn how to make some delicious soups.
You never know, maybe, I would surprise my mom with a hearty soup when she comes to visit this February. Just wish me luck.
Here are a few books that I am gonna check out:
This is a cookbook I found at the Angelou Library last winter. It has lots of hearty soups: Zuppa!: soups from the Italian countryside, by Anne Bianchi.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a fun cookbook to read, if you're into that kind of thing. Great stories about life in small Italian villages.
