I know that Sundays are our usual cookout day, but I want you to take a look at the state of our grilling area:
So. How about soup?
Tonight, we enjoyed a big, steamy bowl of chik’n posole, one of our very favorite soups on a cold winter’s night (or a hot summer’s day, for that matter). Light in calories but hearty in texture, made even more impressive when served in a pale blue Le Creuset French oven, it’s the perfect meal for any time of the year!
That said, with a spicy kick of Rotel and a near-boiling temperature, it’s just perfect for wintertime. And we hopped right into the posole spirit tonight, mowing down several bowls’ worth apiece, all the while convincing ourselves that it really doesn’t keep all that well and we should really just polish off the whole batch (spoiler alert: It actually does keep well). I heated up several slices of garlic bread to complement our meal, and we enjoyed dipping pieces of bread into the broth as we ate.
So though this wasn’t the cookout we were planning on, we had a delightful dinner nonetheless. If there’s a better wintertime soup out there, I’d love to know what it is!
And, with any luck, we’ll be back on our usual Sunday Cookout schedule next week. I have Big Plans!
