Looking Forward To Soup Weather

I am so looking forward to when the weather turns cooler and we start taking our sweaters out of the closet. When we start planning warm meals to help keep us warm.
Soups and stews are always so delicious when you have a cool wind blowing, snow on the ground and frost on the edges of your window panes. Time for me to stop dreaming, I live in Florida, we don't quite get the weather that is cold enough to frost over a window pane, at least not very often.
Anyway, I found when my girls were little I could get them to eat plenty of vegetable by putting them into soups and stews.
I love the mixing of the flavors and the healthiness of them. I can't wait to get a soup bubbling merrily on the stove. I will have to wait a bit longer for the weather to catch up with my longing for a nice hot soup.

@HazySue I agree. Hot weather and soup just don't go well together!

I love constructing a good soup. The smell of it through the house. My grandmother always had a soup brewing on the back of the wood burning stove.

@HazySue He didn't make it a lot, but he did make it often during winter. The food I can't eat to this day is Spam - I can't even look at the can on the shelf without gagging. That's how much I had that growing up. Then there were the cheese sandwiches every day for school lunch. It took a long time for me to be able to eat a cheese sandwich and even now I prefer grilled cheese to a plain cheese sandwich.

I am also looking forward to soup weather. I love potato chowders with lots of cheese, sour cream, and bacon in it. I also love regular chicken noodle and tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Vegetable soup is also good. I like adding a lot of cheese to all of my soups.
