If you’re anything like me you’re pretty pathetic when it comes to the cold. As soon as it drops to freezing, I’m hiding under a blanket, rocking back and forth, chattering my teeth off. I dread the frigid days of winter but I have a couple tricks up my sleeve to stave it away.
I’m talking a nice, body-warming cup of soup or a tongue-burning bowl of chili. The hearty broth pours right into your bones and keeps you just warm enough to not feel completely miserable come mid-winter.
Basically, soup is the kind of food that we all turn to when we’re looking for something comforting and filling.
Obviously, soup can make any chilly day feel cozier. But no matter what time of year. itis, it’s a great time to treat yourself to something creamy or brothy. So with that spirit in mind, here are six joints in the city you just have to hit up for a cuppa the warm stuff.
