There are so many reasons to love soup. First, it is warm and comforting. Second, it is easy and quick to make. Third, it's great to make ahead of time and is great with the crazy soccer, karate, cross country, cub scout schedule we have. If everyone eats at different times, it can always be heated in the microwave. I could go on and on because what's not to love about soup?
Well, the husband will sometimes think he doesn't like soup. The other night I made some beef vegetable soup and as I was cutting up some cooked bottom round, he was dreaming about putting the meat between two pieces of crusty Italian bread. I just have to guide him into liking his soup. I do this by making hearty soups such as tortellini soups, beef vegetable, black bean soup and ham and bean soup. It seems to work as I do see a twinkle in his eye when he comes home on a cold day to a huge pot of hearty soup. This tortellini is one of our favorites.
