January always seems like “soup month” to me—after the holiday excesses and the onset of prolonged cold and/or stormy weather, simple soup suppers have an appeal. I have lots of old recipes that I fall back on, but perhaps you can suggest some new ones with or without accompaniments (other than the trusty loaf of French bread)?
I’m not exactly sure how appealing a creamy soup will sound to you after “holiday excesses,” but for me, when the weather gets this cold, one soup stands above the rest: corn chowder. And apparently I’m not alone in my affection for the rib-sticking meal—like Top Chef contestant Kevin Gillespie’s beard, the chowda even has its own Facebook page.
