On cold Winter days, there is nothing better than a comforting bowl of soup. With its rainy weather, this past weekend was a perfect time to try out a new soup recipe: celery root and leek. When a couple of friends stopped by and I didn't have enough bowls for everyone, I took a tip from PartySugar and served my piping hot soup in small coffee mugs.This soup can easily be prepared a couple days in advance and would freeze well, if you wanted to make it in larger batches.

During the Winter I love having a hearty soup for dinner, and this recipe from Bon Appétit doesn't disappoint. I've been making it to much fanfare for a while, but over the years I've tweaked it, turning it into what I think is a perfect version of the original. Besides tasting great, it's good for you — the dish is low in fat and full of protein, iron, and vitamin C.

I love soup. Like, really really love it. I could eat it for every meal, every day of the week. And any kind of soup too--I don't think I've met a soup I didn't like. (Well, maybe if it was made with beets. But you never know!) The problem is I'm always so busy I never have a chance to cook for myself. I often find myself turning to canned chicken noodle soup from Cambells. Without a doubt, that's my comfort food and I'll never tire of it, but it's so much more fun to make your own! So I've decided to challenge myself. Each week I will make a new soup. I have tons of cookbooks to scour, so finding recipes shouldn't be a problem. I'll post my adventures here, and hopefully I'll inspire someone else!
(FYI: I started this little project during the first few days of October, so these first few posts will be catch-up. Plus, I didn't think to take pictures until recently, so for now most will be picture-less.)

One thing I have noticed about living in different countries is what is easy to find and inexpensive in one place, may not be in another.
While in the UK and USA, cream of tomato soup is pretty easy to find pre-made and inexpensive, I find it is not the case in the smallish town where I live in Finland. Prepackaged soup (not powdered) is not necessarily that cheap.

This soup is very soothing for dinner during winter.
Its full of delicious combinations, sweet and creamy from the sweet potato and carrots and chickpeas to finish off the pleasurable taste and texture.
The spices just add in that touch of magic the soup needs for those innocent punchy flavors.
