Tennessee Department of Agriculture says Heat Up the Cold with Local Sausages, Soups

January 2, 2013 |

Nashville, TN – It’s the most challenging time of the year for localvores: how does one stave off mealtime boredom when all that’s left of local produce are root vegetables and the occasional cabbage?

The answer lies in a pot of soup. Our bodies crave the warmth of soups and stews in wintertime. Even better, many wintertime ingredients like beans and yes, root vegetables, can be chameleons of flavor depending on spices and whether the soup is vegetable broth, meat broth, or cream based. It doesn’t take a professional chef to know that chicken noodle soup and beef stew are a tasty world apart.

Even moderating temperatures on Sunday, when the high is expected to hover in the low 50s, will be short lived.

The greater Clarksville area seems to have skipped autumn altogether, moving strait from hot humid lingering 80s to winter. The proof is in the mittens, mufflers, wool caps, boots  and winter parkas popping up all over town. Even a quick sprint from parked car to supermarket entrance requires a bit of bundling.
