Comfort Food on Cold Days

I love soup. I have always loved soup. So a pro of the colder weather is that its easier to justify soup more often. As things are pretty extra simple these days, we’ve been rolling with easy food, and that means we have grilled cheese and soup pretty often. Grilled cheese for all of us looks like this.

Twelve sandwiches usually does it. And then three tins of soup. We could probably do four. It seems like every time we have this, the kids want more soup. It used to be that only a couple of them would want soup, or they’d only want to dip in it but not actually eat it with a spoon. Now, we could pretty easily make more. Lately, we’ve actually been making more mushroom than tomato, which I never thought would happen! I’ve always preferred mushroom, but I’ve always been the only one. Now, I have a couple of kids on my side.

AND BRADY! Guys, this is actually huge. Brady is not a fan of mushrooms, though he is an adult and will eat them. But tomato soup was always his preference. However, when Brady lived at the hospital, he obviously ate different food, and now finds tomato soup too strong and too sweet. And he actually enjoys mushroom soup!! I love that!

Not too shabby, I’d say. Maybe you’d call this a cheater meal, because its easy and at least in this picture, there are no veggies to be seen. But take my word for it when I say easy food is a life saver, and everyone is full and warm and comfy after.

Thank you Lord for easy food that we can all agree on!
