15 Rainy (or Any) Day Soups

Rain is finally here, falling steadily on our parched lawn to green up the grass, water the flowers, and save us from some preternaturally hot pre-summer days.

It’s a welcome relief and a good day to enjoy bowl of soup.

Soup is one of my favorite foods. Granted, some soups require more prep time than others; but, generally, most are easy to make and delicious. Just follow the recipe, throw everything in the pot, and let it simmer. Best of all, I haven’t met a soup that doesn’t taste great reheated. You can make a pot of it ahead of time and microwave by the bowl when ready to eat . . . which is huge plus for empty nesters as well as those of us on the go.
