Greatest Comfort

It's cold.  It's dark.  I need comfort.
My answer………………………………………..

SPANISH SOUP WITH WINTER GREENS 

The perfect meal on a cold night:  the combination of lots of onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes and smokey paprika and chorizo (Spanish!, not Mexican)is so satisfying.  And it's healthy!  six cups of sliced collard greens and kale let you know it's all OK.

Ok, ok, maybe there's not much going on in my personal life, but there are pleasures to be had at the table.
