Soup Season
If I had to choose one style of meal however it would hands down, be a good soup. Just to give you a little more useless information, my soup preference is a chunky, nourishing one pot meal style with beans, veggies, protein, pasta, rice, herbs, tomato, stock etc. Basically, get a pot and empty the fridge in. Think minestrone with a lovely olive oil slick and fresh herb, any soup with pearl barley (yummy) or a good Asian style chicken, veg and noodle number.
