On a day like today, when it’s cold and snowy outside, soup is the thing I want.
I was talking to a friend on the phone this morning, and she said she was making vegetable soup, so I got that in my head and immediately started chopping onions. (I always say that every recipe I make starts with “sauté an onion.”)
I didn’t use a recipe, but it came together pretty easily and before I knew it, I had added eight vegetables plus some chicken I had left over from dinner the previous night.
