i’ve discovered one great reason to love living in the land of eternal snow… soups!
on a frigid day off, my husband was out in the backyard in the cold with my two bundled and wrapped kiddos, sledding, snowballing and freezing. i was enjoying a pleasant morning huddled over a warm stove making soup.
i do believe the reward of coming in from the snow to a hot bowl of loaded baked potato soup is just about as great as hot chocolate. just about.
