Black Bean Soup · Thyme for Cooking

The theme for Monday posts in November is Soup.

I like soup. I might dwell on soup. Mon mari is glad to have a bit for lunch, alongside together with his sandwich.

Once I was first residing alone I’d make a giant pot of soup each week and freeze it in serving dimension containers. After a number of weeks I had a wide range of soups to selected from all winter lengthy.

The perfect half about soup is that it’s really easy. It doesn’t must be exact, like baking. One doesn’t have to observe a recipe, and it’s a good way to make use of up leftovers. The one factor to recollect to make an excellent soup is to ‘style and modify’ because it’s cooking.
