Batch Soup Cooking

Soups and stews are fantastic for prepping on a lazy Sunday and having available during the week for a quick nutritious meal or as a starter. Best part is that they are great re-heated, not affecting the taste or the texture, and in the summertime they taste great cool.

Today just so happens to be one of those nice lazy beautiful Sundays, a few chores to do around the house, and a great day to batch cook! Aileen's on a cooking mission today, adding to our ever-expanding list of go-to recipes (seems like most people have about twenty go-to recipes, with about ten favourites that they keep going back to).

My contribution to this week's menu will be soups. I love soups because you can keep adding to them, tweaking the flavours, and simmering, without having to be too concerned about overcooking or timing.

Below is one of my go-to soup creations. Although it has a lot of ingredients and tastes great as a final product, you can add or subtract as you please, just keep sampling throughout and you'll find a flavour that works for you and whatever you may have in your pantry and fridge.
