This year it’s hard to believe that we are already in December. Let alone getting ready for Christmas. It’s been very mild for this season, so far. Only two weeks ago we were picking olives in Calabria<\/a><\/span>, wearing a thin shirt, with temperatures that reminded us of spring. It doesn’t surprise me, that since we got back, I haven’t got into the mood of going gift shopping yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the lack of snow and frosty degrees, lately I started adjusting my cooking. We’ve been eating more warm and cozy dishes, including lots of soups.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winter hasn’t even started yet, and I don’t even know anymore how many pumpkins we have already cooked. My favorite soups are creamy. Actually ‘favorite’ is not the right word to describe it. That would imply that I do have alternatives. Which is not the case. Really. You will never see me volunteer to eat a clear soup or broth! I guess there is no explanation for that. And I don’t even consider myself a picky eater. There’s just something special about creamy ones. And you can add toppings! Now that’s a good reason to stand out, right? Think about all those tasty ingredients you can sprinkle on top of a soup! No wonder I enjoy eating squash soups<\/a><\/span>. Or this warming bean soup<\/a><\/span>. I need to make it again very soon!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Today I want to share with you another recipe, that can be prepared quickly. It will be ready in no more than 30 minutes. The secret is in its topping. It’s unbelievable how some chopped roasted chorizo can have such an impact on the entire dish! It changes the olive oil’s color, and adds an even more intense flavor to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the best recipe to go for, on those lazy days, when you are looking for something quick, warming and appetizing, at the same time. Don’t forget to grill or toast some bread. Sprinkle some extra-virgin olive oil on top. Then dip it into the soup. Mmmm…<\/span><\/p>\n
