Warm up with a bowl of Chicken Fiesta Soup, Spicy Black Bean Soup, Brendan’s Onion Soup or Cheeseburger Soup with Rice, clockwise from top left.EDITOR’S NOTEStaff writer Clint Cooper has a drawer full of unused recipes in his kitchen. Once a month in Tossed & Found, he’s pulling some out and giving them a try.
One of my favorite things to do for dinner during winter is to open a can of soup, zap it in the microwave and let the heat continue to warm me after a treadmill session starts the job when I get home from work.
My favorite is Campbell’s Healthy Request Grilled Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, but several other Campbell’s or Progresso chunky soups are just as effective.
I’ve made my own soup before, but wind up eating all of it myself over a number of days or throwing out part of it because I eventually grow tired of soup meal after meal. My wife is usually good for a bowl or two, but my son has no interest.
Still, though, I continue to add soups to my recipe drawer because I like them, especially in the winter. My drawer does have several summer ones I’ve never tried, like a cool cucumber soup and one with peaches, but those will have to wait a few months.
