Enjoy These Soup Recipes All Winter Long!
It’s that time of year where the wind is whipping, the cold rain (and sometimes snow) is falling, and your fingers and toes are numb! It’s winter in Illinois and we know that means COLD! We’ve still got a while to go before we thaw and Spring is here, and sometimes, when it’s that cold out, there are a few things that ALWAYS help to warm us from the inside, out: Comfy blankets, a fire, fuzzy socks, hot cocoa or coffee, and a warm, comforting meal.
We’ve searched for some amazing comfort foods, perfect for winter months, and consistently came across delicious soup recipes! Though it was hard to choose just a few to highlight, we selected some that work well for anyone, and wanted to share them. There are some great sites listed below, as well, so check them out for more amazing recipes. Whether you’re looking for something healthy, to help you stay on track with your New Year’s resolution, or something down-right delicious, calories be darned… we’ve got something for you!

**HEALTHY (*but still delicious!):
(1) The Best Turkey Chili
Named “the best” for a reason! This chili has a wonderful flavor, and is filled with healthy things to keep you fuller, longer. This is one of those recipes where you can add anything you like to it! We suggest diced sweet potato and chickpeas for even more healthy, filling additions!

While the weather is cold and the days are short, it’s good to try and find some things to do, indoors. When you attend a painting and wine class at Pinot’s Palette, you’ll get to spend time in a fun, creative, unique, (and heated) environment! We make a great, new experience to try out, perfect for first-time painters, looking to get creative! You’ll be amazed at how you can start with a blank canvas and within a 2-3 hour class, you’ll create a handmade work of art! Take it home to hang up and treasure forever!
We have a helpful and friendly staff, ready to assist with anything you may need! You’ll have a talented and encouraging instructor, walking you through the painting, step by step, a great bar staff pouring drinks and guiding you through the menu, and plenty of additional art help, if you need it!
Keep us in mind for anytime of year, as we’re a great way to spend time with friends and family, year-round. We have some wonderful paintings coming up, throughout the next few weeks, including some lovely Valentine’s (+ GALentine's) Day classes! Read more about all of the excellent V-day classes we’re offering here:
