Get “Souped” Up!
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, January 6th, 2011
There must be a reason why January is National Soup Month- because it is so cold (although there have been days in NoVA where it has been unusually warm for winter)! Celebrate National Soup Month and warm up by trying different variations of soup from all over Northern Virginia.
Try Ozzie’s fire roasted tomato and basil zuppa , rustic cream of mushroom zuppa or their rich lobster bisque. Potbellys’ soups (creamy tomato soup is my personal favorite) and their chili are always good and homey. Get Soup-to-Go at Wegmans as they have a wide selection- I love New England clam chowder along with their fresh store-baked bread. Venture out to Yechon (even in the wee hours of the morning as they are open 24 hours) and order spicy seafood soups from their eclectic assortment of authentic Korean soups and stews.
Get into the spirit of National Soup Month by making your own soup- click to see the recipe for Maryland She-Crab Soup. Visit farmer’s markets for fresh vegetables for a nutritious, healthy soup or get distracted and buy a cup of local soup as many vendors will sell their own homemade soup and goodies like Smith Meadow’s Grille.
