Baby, it’s cold outside! What’s a shivering girl to do? We’ve been leaving our faucets dripping at night to protect against our pipes freezing. I put the flannel sheets on the bed, and I’m drinking my fair share of hot coffee and tea to fight the bone-chilling cold! When the weather is cold, my favorite meal is soup and bread. Not only is a hearty soup filling and comforting, but this recipe is also good for your budget and your body. And while I don’t aim for a gluten-free kitchen, this recipe fits if that’s what you prefer.
