Favorite foods for chilly weather

a bowl of blended veggie soup with toasted cashews on topYesterday over on the Amateur Gourmet, Adam posed a question to his readers. He wants to know what your favorite cold weather food is. For cold weather food falls into two different categories. There's the stuff I like to order when I'm out in restaurants and the dishes I like to make at home. For my money, the best deal around for cold weather restaurant food is Pho. There's nothing like a bowl of steamy, fragrant broth and noodles to warm me up and make me feel cozy and well-fed.

When it comes to cooking at home in the colder months, I'm a big fan of blended veggie soups. Back in August I posted the recipe for the Moosewood Carrot Soup which is one of my very favorites. I'm also a big fan of roasting a chicken and turning the leftovers into soup the next day. There's just something about a big pot of aromatic chicken broth dotted with veggies, rice and shredded chicken to make my day a little bit brighter.

What are you favorite cold weather foods?

Home cooked: I've been completely hooked on a simple dish for the past year—I make Trader Joe's Chicken mushroom herb sausage with a lot of kale, some minced shallots and chicken broth (and salt and pepper). It's a bit of a hearty soup, or a bit less soupy depending on how much liquid I put in.

I don't though, because I'm too lazy to make it more than once or twice.
