Secrets of Soul Satisfying Soup Making

Secrets of Soul Satisfying Soup Making

A friend of mine said she had to get to the supermarket to stock up on tinned soup and such when the big snow was forecast here in Ireland.

“Why bother when homemade is so much better?” I replied.  

It tastes better, you can control the amount of sodium added and you can avoid additives that can adversely affect some sensitive folk (mostly children.)

Even with just two of us in this household I always make a batch of soup. Then when some brave soul does make the break for it (like our friend Will the other day) or friends with jeeps bring supplies you can offer them a bowl to warm up.
