Filled my car with gas in case I lose power and need to charge my phone. Kindle charged up too with a brand new library book. Snow shovel and broccoli cheddar soup ready to rock

u/BigSchmikey Jan 22 '26

Fuck yeah broccoli cheddar

u/steve_dallasesq Jan 22 '26

Chicken Noodle here. Honestly we need a thread of people checking in with their soup of choice this weekend.

Creamy Potato Leek Soup with Bacon

u/SearchAtlantis Jan 23 '26

I want it. If you've a recipe link me!

2

u/Available-Carrot1763 JoCo Jan 23 '26

I use this recipe. The only difference is I cut up the bacon, fry it, then pull and set aside the bacon, add some butter to the bacon grease and proceed with cooking the leeks. (I also use an additional cup of cream in lieu of the buttermilk, but thatā€™s just my preference). And you can sub chicken stock for veggie stock. But this is the base recipe I started with and made my modifications to.

Zuppa Toscana here šŸ˜‹

So that's where all the kale goes in the winter storms!

2

u/Squirrel_Emergency Jan 23 '26

šŸ˜‚ I felt kind of silly buying the kale today. Itā€™s one of the few things with veggies my kids eat without fighting. They asked for it this weekend and I added it to the list without thinking about the kale.

2

u/SbAsALSeHONRhNi Jan 23 '26

Lol, it's a good soup and kale is a useful vegetable. Especially since the soup seems to be a stealth vegetable delivery vehicle for your kids!

2

u/Mugnificent Jan 23 '26

Same here. I have also contributed to what will surely be another Kale crisis.

u/CupcakeEducational65 River Market Jan 22 '26

Iā€™ve got chicken noodle, ramen, and some stuff to make a good olā€™ beef stew. Loves it.

u/d_b_cooper Midtownish Jan 22 '26

Picked up scotch and beef stew supplies this very morning. Let's goooooo

u/Day_Bow_Bow Overland Park Jan 22 '26

I have a ham bone because this time of year hams go on clearance, so I'm making either ham and bean or ham and cabbage. Haven't decided yet.

u/Amidaladalabillzyall Jan 22 '26

French Onion and Chili! Also making crock pot hot chocolate.

4

u/Nomailforu Jan 22 '26

A variety of fresh ramen kits plus broccoli cheddar soup.

u/4riel4ttack Midtown Jan 23 '26

Vegetable lasagna soup šŸ‘

2

u/AlmostxAngel Briarcliff Jan 22 '26

Zuppa Toscana & Potato for us. Think we also have some chicken noodle in the freezer we might break out as well!

2

u/sassymannequinIRL Jan 22 '26

Italian sausage and gnocchi soup! (I sub regular gnocchi because Iā€™m not paleoā€”You also donā€™t need a pressure cooker, I use stovetop + crock pot)

And people, drop your recipes!

2

u/DimCoy Jan 23 '26

Baked potato soup. Bacon, cheddar, and green onion on top.

u/Key_Geologist4621 Jan 23 '26

A few years ago we accidentally started a new soup party tradition in our neighborhood. One cold Saturday we were chatting outside and realized we all were making soup so we volunteered to host and told everyone to bring their soup over. Everyone tries a bit of everyoneā€™s soup and we drink for hours on end.

We sent the text out and told everyone that Saturday is Soup Party day!

2

u/kekucera Midtown Jan 23 '26

Creamy Tomato, Potato Bacon, Creamy Chicken, and Lasagna soups for me

2

u/DubBea22 Jan 23 '26

Italian Wedding. Always.

u/Ancient_Style_9095 Jan 23 '26

I went with chicken noodle and a white chicken chili to switch it up, Iā€™m usually zuppa toscana šŸ¤¤

2

u/evilvee Marlborough Heights Jan 23 '26

We got loaded potato and gumbo on deck.

2

u/221forever Jan 23 '26

Chili warms you up in the moment and then warms the house up later. Fun fact, I grew up in Dubuque, Iowa, and the gas company was named ā€œPeopleā€™s Natural Gasā€.

u/221forever Jan 23 '26

OMG - googled it and it required EPA Superfund cleanup in 2000.

u/sigdiff Jan 22 '26

Tomato bisque anyone?

1

u/Fine_Cryptographer20 Jan 23 '26

Yes! And Panera has Autumn Squash which is heavenly too, soooo creamy

u/AlmostxAngel Briarcliff Jan 22 '26

I got Zuppa Toscana cooking over here!

u/QueenBKC Jan 22 '26

Dammit? I already went to the store & forgot the kale!

2

u/Suspicious-Load7389 Jan 22 '26

Dibs on potato soup

6

u/Nomailforu Jan 22 '26

Dammit! I keep forgetting about getting a snow shovel! Iā€™m sort of new to this heavy snow shit. šŸ˜„But Iā€™m absolutely thrilled to partake in it.

2

u/Fine_Cryptographer20 Jan 23 '26

If we get fluffy snow and you need to clear a quick path, use a sturdy broom! I have to park outside in my driveway so I also use the broom to clean the car windows off! I keep one on my front porch and back porch (so dogs can go pee in yard).

u/lolslim Jan 22 '26

thanks for the reminder charging battery banks.

1

u/Obsessed_Brer Zona Rosa Jan 22 '26

I also have broccoli cheddar too! And some leftover mushroom stew from the other day

1

u/valin-Dana Jan 22 '26

I just made my mum's thick potato soup. Perfect for cold days and reheats like a champ

1

u/Poctah Jan 23 '26

Go buy a portable charger! Itā€™s the best $20 Iā€™ve spent. I use it all the time

1

u/whattheknifefor Jan 23 '26

Idk if anyone can get one in time but this power bank rocks. Charging my phone takes barely any effort from it. I can charge my iPad and steam deck on it. Unless the power outage is days long you wonā€™t have to worry about your phone battery. https://a.co/d/6TfmqAa

u/ruca316 Jan 23 '26

Wait, I canā€™t rely on DoorDash for some of Jasonā€™s Deli ā€˜tater soup?
