Whether you are looking for a first course, something to accompany a salad or sandwich, or a hearty meal, soup can be the answer. When I was a kid, I remember that we always had tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Ask my husband, and he will tell you that it is chicken noodle soup that is the best partner for grilled cheese. To each his (or her) own. I like to make a pot (or two) of soup and then freeze it into individual portions. It makes it very simple to have a quick lunch or dinner -- and it lets me appease different preferences at the dinner table without losing my mind or creating a mountain of dishes to wash.
On a cold day, walking into your house and smelling the aroma of soup that's been in the slow cooker all day is instantly warming.
