Soup Saga: the Pot is Nearly Empty

I blogged about my colorful, inexpensive gypsy soup on Sunday.  And now, the soup saga continues.

On Monday, my daughter came home from school and asked for some for a snack.  How often does YOUR 12 year old ask for homemade vegetable soup for an afterschool snack?  I think this is a first for my kid.  It's that good!

Today I finished the soup for lunch.  I noticed it had thickened quite a bit from being in the fridge and from the starch in the potatoes.  Rather than add water, I added a splash of red wine while I was reheating the soup in a small saucepan.  I topped the hot soup with a handful of freshly grated parmesan which added body, gave it a nutty flavor, and made it almost stew-like.  I am pleasantly warmed. 

Autumn and winter are my favorite cooking seasons with soups, stews, and crockpot creations abound.  Comfort food.  I'll be making gypsy soup regularly during this cold Vermont winter.
