Wear a sweater, make some soup (or stew)
LA TimesColder weather means I can put a pot of soup on the stove to make something easy and delicious — and to warm my apartment. Deborah Madison‘s Red Lentil Soup With Berbere is outstanding for this reason too, owing most of its flavor to berbere, an Ethiopian spice mix that adds incredible flavor to the quick stew. Chickpea and Escarole Soup With Crispy Bread Crumbs Fresh, crunchy bread crumbs add contrast to this light soup that eats like a hearty meal. Mustard Greens and Beans Soup With Herby Pork Meatballs Dorsey makes bone broth and beans earlier in the week in this simple, comforting soup, but you can use store-bought broth and beans and it will taste just as great. Red Lentil Soup With Berbere Red lentils, turmeric and ghee combine in this simple soup doused with homemade berbere, the addictive Ethiopian spice blend that colors the soup red and amps up the flavor.
