We make a potato chowder at my house, it is pretty simple, and really cheap but very tasty and very filling.

I made a mushroon bisque last weekend when wifey came home from hospital after giving birth to our daughter. I picked up some potatoes and leeks to make a soup tomorrow. I think I will twist it up a bit and add a little bacon, mushrooms, and some dark meat chicken.

Congratulations on your new family addition.

Since Iammatt mentioned Ribolita in this thread I was inspired to give it a go. Came out pretty well. I think the texture of the Savoy Cabbage is what really makes the dish.

I also made a winter root vegetables stew (carrots, parsnips, turnips,etc.) with beef. I used Prime grade sirloin in the stew since I found it at a reasonable price but a lesser cut would have sufficed.

Chili is near the top of the list for me. Probably because my Step dad would always make big pots of it every winter. A couple of weeks ago I made a leek and butternut squash risotto that really hit the spot. And of course stews are always good. Went to a restaurant last weekend and had a great wild boar and mushroom red wine stew seasoned with juniper and cloves and poured over fresh pappardelle. Awesome meal after coming in from the snow.

Last night had the regional speciality: Tortellini in brodo sprinkled with 36month parmesan ; small pasta parcels stuffed with a mixture of meat, parmesan and nutmeg floating in a freshly made broth. heaven.

Tonight: Carbonara using smoked prosciutto, with a lightly chilled dry Lambrusco
Dessert: bought gourmet tiramisu.
In a couple of hours: two fingers of Glenlivet.

Bring on the winter!
