My favorite is a soup that my dad makes for us. It has beef, crimini mushrooms, barley, and other great things -- but it is so loaded with tender beef that my husband christened it "steak soup" and the name has stuck. Nearly any soup is great as far as I am concerned -- I could happily eat soup 7 days a week all year round!

Ribollita. It's a wonderful bean and veggie soup that you cook once, refrigerate overnight, and reheat the next day. The trick is that when you reheat it, you line the pot with a layer of day-old bread, then add a layer of soup, then another layer of bread, then soup, and so on. The bread dissolves into the soup, creating a thick, stew-like texture. Very filling and comforting on cold winter nights.
