I am a fan of all things cozy. I love slippers, a good blanket, sitting by the fire, a good pair of cozy pants, and a cup of coffee. Are you feeling me?
This winter I decided to expand my collection of soup recipes. So we are having the winter of soups. Every Sunday is Soup Day. I've used some old tried and true recipes. And I've found some new ones. I thought I would share some of our favorites so far.

Cream of Broccoli Soup {sorry no picture} Bunch of Broccoli, chopped 1/2 c. butter 6 Tbsp flour 5 cups chicken broth pepper nutmeg about 1 cup of milk Melt butter in pot, add flour. Mix together. Then add in broth slowly, and add the cut up broccoli. Simmer for 20 minutes. Put all of it in a blender and puree. Put back in pot, add milk, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg. Stir together and serve. This is a family recipe that my mom used to make when we were little. It makes a lot so it is good for leftovers. Admittedly, my husband doesn't love it, but I do. Its basically a broccoli soup, but blended down smooth. So no chunks...easy for picky kids who may not like to eat broccoli. I like to serve it with baked potatoes.
Hopefully, you will find these recipes as yummy as we have. And maybe you'll even take part in our winter of soups, even though it is half over!
