Soup

Blenders are your cold-weather ally, especially when you're craving a bowl of delicious homemade soup. To make, cook the vegetables of your choice in vegetable broth (or chicken or meat broth). Transfer to the bowl of your blender, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pulse gently, then gradually increase the power until the soup is nice and smooth. For creamy soups, add a bit of half-and-half or milk. Serve hot!
