When the weather gets cooler in the slightest, my brain immediately turns to soups. Ok, so maybe I have hot chilis in the middle of summer, too (don’t judge). Now that it’s fall, however, I don’t need to come up with any excuses for making this delicious meal in a bowl. The one herb I probably can’t live without is thyme. Yes, those tiny little leaves that are a pain to extract. A pinch of thyme can transform any dish from “blah” to “yah.” Maybe that rhyme was a bit of a stretch. My rhyming skills have been underused since my last English class almost 10 years ago. But, seriously, fresh thyme is amazing. I usually have some dried thyme lying around the house, but the flavors don’t compare to a nice pinch of the fresh stuff. LOOKING FOR MORE RECIPES?
