Nourishing Soups and Stews Carnival

“I live on good soup, not on fine words” Moliere

I don’t know if any food invokes nourishing, rustic, beautiful pictures in my mind more than soup does. Ever since I learned how to cook, soups have played a major part in my cooking. I love everything about them.

I am one of those people who enjoy comfort. I like my clothes to be cute and stylish, but comfort is always top priority. I like my home to be clean and tidy, but sterile? Never, that wouldn’t invoke comfort to any of us. I like my food to be nourishing, bright, and beautiful, but also to bring comfort to those who eat it.

Soups not only nourish, but they bring comfort to the diner. That’s important to me. Life can deliver some hard knocks, food shouldn’t be yet another blow to the head, but should instead give not only sustenance but comfort.

I also love that soups can be so very frugal. Soups have helped many less than rich people make filling meals for hundreds of years. Traditionally soup was often made from leftovers or from what was on hand. I appreciate that aspect as well.

Overall, there is very little not to like about soup. It fulfills all of my criteria for what I want to serve at my table.

So let’s share those nourishing soup recipes!
