This is by no means a sexy soup.
But it got cold so I made it and I ate it and I loved it so now I share it. Yup it got real cold. Cold enough to put me in the mood for a little boot shopping. Too bad I spotted these and now I find myself daydreaming about owning them but I just can't justify the price when a) I live in Texas where b) there's no snow so I'd basically c) look like a fool. No sexy mountain boots for me.
Once old man winter kicks in though, I make a lot of soup (and I wear a lot of sweatpants. and I drink a lot of chai). Usually my soup consists of whatever I've got lying around the house: a can of diced tomatoes, the remains of a green bell, a handful of onion, a dash of cumin, a pinch of salt. I just pull stuff out of the fridge, off the spice rack, and bam! soup du jour. Then I eat my non-sexy soup in my non-sexy sweats while I browse sexy boots.
