A steaming bowl of comforting soup is always a nice way to make the frigid cold and wind that howls outside of my house seem just a little bit less daunting. It doesn’t have to be fancy – a simple chicken and rice or tomato soup would suffice just fine. Heck, a piping bowl of plain old chicken broth is even comforting to me when I can’t stop my whole body from compulsively shivering. And although these simple soups and broths may warm me up momentarily and provide a brief 30 minute feeling of consolation, if you give me a hot bowl of curried chicken stew, I might feel warm and fuzzy inside all night long and think that maybe I could almost become friends with wintertime. Almost.
