Today is the first day of winter,but we're no strangers to cold temperatures. Seattle has been unusually cold at times.

When the temperature drops I crave warm, hearty dishes. Soup is at the top list. I'm eager to make a Ribollita soup - white cannellini beans mixed with tomato, veggies, toasty bread and Parmesan all on one bowl.

How about you? What are you craving?
