Winter/Warming-up Food!

[Debater Slayer]

What do you have in winter when you want to warm up? It can be anything from a snack or a small meal to a large one.

I like spicy noodles. Soup is also one of my favorites. I usually eat slowly, so some food that can make others sweat if they eat it fast doesn't affect me as much. Soup never fails to warm up my body, though.

I find myself eating quite a bit more soup as meals. Progresso lentil soup (after I add a generous amount of red chili powder and a bit of turmeric) is one of my favorites, but I have also recently discovered Gardein Chick'n Noodl' and Gardein Chick'n & Rice.

I bought some vegetable broth and corn starch yesterday, so I'm going to try my hand at some homemade egg drop soup as well this week.

Depends comfort food... Caserole, Beef Bourgonion, warm apple pie with warm custard. Spiced pumpkin soup

A bit of spice, Moroccan stew, thai fish curry, korma curry, pasta arrabiata.

A bit more spice, hotter curries, chilli.

I once tried a phall, i won't be having another.

Lentil soup is amazing! It's so effective for turning the heat up, too.

(I approve of the chili powder. Chili makes almost anything tastier.)

Apple pie. Yummy! So is curry, but it is even yummier.

Perfect for mixing in hot chocolate or eggnog!

That looks good... and like I might have most of that on hand.

Soup, stew, and chili are my main food go to's to warm up. And Japanese style curry as well.

I'm also partial to hot coffee and hot tea during the winter months. Herbal Floral teas are my favorite so that I keep Spring and her warmth in mind.

I get ready-made ones that come with the spices, so I just put everything in boiling water and that's it. I should look up some recipes myself, actually!

Chili and curry seem to be popular in this thread so far, and I completely approve!

I'm partial to hot coffee and hot tea during the entire year.

I do a lot of lamb, goat, and chicken crockpots, but if I want something quick my goto is aka miso.

Chili. Any fresh hot soup. Hot cocoa (home made not the powder crap).

Congee. Chinese comfort food. I am sure that if you make rice a lot you know that two cups of water for one cup of rice is a bit too much. Well what about four cups? Or eight? Okay, this recipe calls for only seven. I am going to make some turkey broth with my poor turkey carcass. Some will probably become gumbo. And some will become congee:

Basic Chinese Congee

This simple Chinese congee recipe is a rice porridge made from chicken stock, rice, and fresh ginger. Chinese congee can be customized with a variety of toppings.

Vegans can use vegetable stock. And a few extras are needed at the end. Green onion, a touch of toasted sesame oil. Ooh, definitely some fresh ginger. And a favorite protein if you want to. It is an empty canvas that you can do so much with. But even with just some sesame oil, ginger, and green onions it is very satisfying.

Lately my 'go to' on a cold day has been jazzed hash browns. Fry a coupla onions and a red pepper with mustard seed, curry leaves, lotsa black pepper, and some dried chili flakes. In the meantime, microwave a coupla potatoes, and then try to slice them in cubes without burning your tender fingers. Mix the cubes in with the already fried pepper and onions. Top it with ketchup, salsa, or if you're into more healthy, diced tomato.

I used to be a soup guy, but that's too much work. This is easier, and I'm a lazy old man.

 

[We Never Know]

A bowl of good chili or hot chocolate, or both.

Nothing like some nice Cajun gumbo or jambalaya to warm up ones insides.
