Everyone has their "go to" winter comfort food when it is freezing cold outside with the blowing snow.

 

Food and Wine has a slide show of 17 recipes.  Some of them are definitely what I would call winter comfort food:

• Macaroni and cheese
• Chili
• Beef Stew
• Baked Potatoes

 

But what is curiously missing is soups.  My winter favorite is New England Clam Chowder - the hearty cream soup with big chunks of potatoes and onions and clams.
