Soups Cooking, Must Be Cold Outside

As everyone in the good ole US of A is painfully aware of, it is COLD outside. And it has been cold outside for sometime.. For me and my immediate family here in Chicago, that's not that big of a story but for my family in Florida and Georgia we are talking Winter-agedon 2014!  If there is one thing that can get you all warm and cozy when the temp outside is well under 0 and the wind chill is well into negative double digits its soup! Luckily, my wife and I are frequent guests to the Foodgawker website and that's where we found this awesome blog with this awesome recipe.

There is nothing to hate about this (unless you hate flavor). It has veggies galore, bacon, chicken, dairy and what I think is completely underrated, gnocchi! What good and hearty soup doesn't have potato in it, right? Gnocchi is such a creative way to get that ingredient incorporated.

All in all, it was a very good meal. Matter of fact, my wife and I had to bowls filled that night and I had another for lunch the next day! It may not warm things up outside but it sure made things warm on the inside!
