    Default What is your favorite homemade soup for winter?

    During the winter I like to make soup. I really like to make chicken noodle soup. In the soup I put egg noddles, potatoes, carrots, shredded chicken, peas and onions. This is a great meal to have with fresh baked bread. Especially during the winter when it is cold.

    Shaffer style clam chowder

    three 10 oz cans chopped clams
    1lb bacon
    three cups peeled and chopped potatoes
    1 1/2 cups chopped onions
    2 chicken bouillon cubes
    3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 teaspoon thyme (some times I use parsley instead)
    2 cups half and half
    1 cup milk
    3 tablespoons all purpose flour

    salt and pepper to taste

    Directions:
    open canned clams reserving all juice
    set aside

    cut up bacon, removing a lot of the extra fat
    in large sauce pan cook bacon until crisp. Keeping the bacon and the grease in the pan
    add potatoes, clam juice, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, onions, pepper,bouillon cubes.
    Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about ten minutes or until potatoes are tender.

    Combind milk, cream and flour till smooth. Add to potatoe mixture. Cook and stir until slightly thickened. Stir in Clams. Return to boiling reduce heat. Cook for a few minutes more. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    If soup is too thick add more milk or cream
    if soup is too thin add more flour mixing with milk or cream first!

    We add a tablespoon of butter to each bowl when serving ( not at all good for you
    but it tastes great!!!

    Add some nice frech bread and a green salad and you've got a wonderful dinner! Use small bowls so you can have seconds! As with most soups this is better the next day!

    I like chunky beef stew (lots and lots of potatoes) in the crockpot!

    I love clam chowder &/or tortilla soup. ....but then anything warm in the winter is generally good.

    I have a crockpot of stew going right now for dinner.

    Another favorite of our's is taco soup. Ground beef, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, green chilies, taco seasoning topped with sour cream and tortilla strips.

    Oh I forgot about potato soup. I like to add bacon, chives and a small drop of sour cream. It tastes like a baked potato with all the goods. It is very good with hot french bread.
