A delicious soup when your tummy is rumbly.

Rowdy is my grandma, she got the nickname for being a VERY vocal defender & supporter of her grandchildren. It's what we all call her. This is her favorite winter soup, and the one I grew up with.

The weekend was absolutely lovely, sunny but cold. Being outside in the cold weather you needed to wear all!!! I mean all the accessories…gloves, hats, scarves, ear muffs. 🙂 Yesterday morning, I had already baked the Vanilla cake for dessert, but we wanted something to warm us up from the cold weather, and this soup was exactly what we needed.This traditional greek soup is full of vegetables and beef for a hearty, delicious warm me up dish. 🙂 If you love soups and are not a meat eater just omit the meat and have a hearty hot vegetable soup. 🙂

Today, with the cold weather, we decided to make a warm, nutritious, and at the same time delicious soup. I had a little beef in the freezer and leftover roasted chicken from the previous day, so I improvised with whatever vegetables I had and made a super invigorating soup that we really liked and will add to our list of favorite soups!

This is the consomme soup my mother used to make. She cooked with bacon and spring cabbage.When I have leftover cabbage, or when I forget about my stock and it wilts, I often make this soup.It's also delicious to add onions and mushrooms. Recipe by Nayuho

For a lover of veg.soup who emphasized on 'extra meat'

#nonindian - This is a very refreshing and a light soup in Thai style. I have used Thai green curry paste, kaffir lime leaves, galangal (Thai ginger), lemon grass along with lots of different veggies, coconut milk and some vegetable stock. For a non-veg. version, boneless chicken along with chicken stock can be added. This aromatic soup is a perfect meal in itself for weight watchers as it has all the goodness of vegetables. For more variations, you can add noodles, prawns, mushrooms, baby corn and broccoli too.

I love soups. When making anything, I try to use as much fresh as possible. Especially Vegetables. Vegetable soup is one of my favorites. I would love to be able to always have it made so I could grab a soup mug or bowl full whenever I like. I always make 5-7 quarts of soup. I keep some out, place some in sandwich Ziplock baggies. This baggy makes one full bowl of soup.

I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but I gave it a shot and grabbed all the veggies out of my fridge, too lazy to go out in the cold in NYC and came up with this soup. Surprisingly it is quite good, and I am usually not a big fan of vegetable soups! I recommend this recipe :)

The kids are sick, they love soup anyway, and tomato vegetable soup is yummy. Freekeh is a little different, I know, but it is a tasty and healthy alternative to overprocessed white rice.

My family loves this soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
