Fish dishes, soup perfect for Lenten season
We have had a lot of soup at our house with all the chilly weather and snow outside. It is warm in here, but soup just seems to be a good comfort food. Also, since it is almost impossible to make a small kettle of soup, each prepared batch is good for two or three meals. Especially chili. By the way, if you like your chili a little thick and you don’t have tomato paste in the house to thicken it, just add mashed potatoes. Dried potato flakes work just fine. That is the only reason I have those — to thicken soup if it is needed. Also, if you have extra mashed potatoes at a meal, just freeze them and they can be used — to make a separate soup or to thicken other soup. You can keep a container in your freezer where you add vegetables that are left over from a meal, then when it is full, just make vegetable soup.
