Unfortunately, Summer is gone and we are getting ready for the long cold winter. As it was said in “Game of Thrones” ..Winter is coming! So what better to get ready with 5 soups you can have at home when outside is raining, snowing…or in general is not summer…

You see as a Greek, i am used to complain about the weather no matter how many years i would have lived in London. Nevertheless, i found out that food can make things a little bit better when the weather outside is cloudy and you have that annoying drizzle.

So here we go!

Chicken Soup with rice and vegetables!
