It\u2019s no secret that soup is one of my favorite foods to cook and to eat.  Soup is one of the few things I look forward to during this time of year (other things: wearing sweaters, drinking more tea and the holiday season).  Soup makes an appearance on our table at least once a week and as a result, there have been more recipes for soup on Relishments<\/a> than anything else.<\/p>\n

Some interesting soup-related hints came my way this week.  The Kitchn suggests using fried garlic and nuts to top soup<\/a>, which sounds like it would be worth a try.  I keep meaning to make my own croutons as well, but that hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n

Well Preserved had a piece about super-reduced stocks<\/a>, which would certainly help me make more soup.  I never seem to have enough broth or stock on hand.  Still, the procedure seems like more work than I\u2019d be willing to put into it.  <\/p>\n

Kelly wrote a review of Julie\u2019s Soba Noodle Soup<\/a> that I wrote about a few weeks ago<\/a> (it\u2019s funny how the internet works sometimes).  Anyway, her review is much more complete than mine.  It should be mentioned that Julie\u2019s soup saved the day when we arrived home from Christmas vacation to an empty refrigerator and little motivation to cook.<\/p>\n

And as you know, I\u2019m always on the search for more recipes to add to my collection.  Here are the soup ideas that have shown up in my Google Reader lately:<\/p>\n
