So, I guess my husband should have put some money on his prediction that the normal 40 degree weather typical of March will return. The out of the ordinary 80’s of last week are gone and the chill has returned. For me that only means one thing—soup is on!!! Broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl from Panera was a staple for me in college. Comfort in a bowl any time of year. At least once every week or every other week, the stressors of college life or even some really juicy gossip would force us to head out in search of some cheap and comforting food. We would sit in the booths or push a few tables together and chat for an hour or longer. We would laugh about stories from the night before, gossip about the latest sorority scandal, confess our dreams and worries, and sometimes even cry over broken hearts. (Don’t look at me that way, judgey-judgerson! Yes, I have cried in many places, and I bet you have too!) We did all of that over a bowl of soup and possibly a sandwich or salad…And if tears made an appearance, you better believe there was something …
