Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Spicy Sausage & Cabbage Soup
Our winters last anywhere from about the end of October through the end of March, sometimes even into the beginning of April. There are years when I worry that it’s going to drag on forever and things will never warm up and bloom. Winter always makes me want to hibernate in the kitchen. I love to fill our house with the scents of baking bread, cookies, pies, soups, and stews.
Steaming, fragrant, homemade soup served alongside a warm roll or large slice of french bread slathered in butter (dairy free for me of course) on a chilly winter day…it gives me the warm fuzzies just thinking about it. Soup is soothing and comforting. Typically the first thing we crave if we’re not feeling well, and there’s a reason for that. Soup equals love and comfort, in my mind anyway. If you’re lucky enough to come from a “foodie” family, it’s the first thing your mom or grandma make for you if you’re not feeling well. It’s comforting on a cold day, calming on a stressful day, and a perfect gift for someone you care about that is going through a hard time in life.It’s a labor of love and you can taste it in every, soothing drop.
