For many people comfort food encompasses a range of less than healthy, heavy and health hazardous dishes, think macaroni and cheese, bangers and mash, pizza… all of which can ultimately leave one “uncomfortable.”
When it’s a comforting meal that I’m craving, I find myself almost always thinking of soup, like thick bean soups that have been simmered for hours and become creamy, hearty mushroom barley rich with herbs, and velvety root vegetable soups.
