Comfort foods for Fall

[dobielvr]

I use patak curry sauces here all the time

Does it have a little bit of sweetness to it?
I noticed that about the chicken tikka marsala, which I like.

yes it does..particularly if you get the mild ones like Butter chicken sauce or Korma.. which I prefer

Chilly air rolled in here, so I made a pot of creamy Italian sausage potato soup tender potatoes, a little kale, and just enough cream to feel comforting without being heavy. It’s one pot (there’s a slow-cooker note), easy on my hands, and the leftovers warm up beautifully for lunch.

I love autumn butternut squash soup. Made properly, it is thick and hearty. Served with tossed salad and warm crusty bread.
Beef barley stew is another favorite. My son loves it, so when I am visiting, I make plenty, so it can be divided and some frozen for later.

I made this apple pie yesterday!

I love cooking and these meals are some of our fall/winter favorites

Beef barley soup with homemade fluffy biscuits.

Creamy chicken soup with dumplings.

Chili and cornbread

15 bean soup with ham (I freeze the ham bone from our Easter ham for this dish) and crusty bread

Hoppin John and cornbread.

I'm with you on that, @Lewkat.... in fact, I am going to the store for the ingredients today. My version is Indian-inspired with potatoes, cauliflower, Indian spices and coconut milk added right at the end.

Between this and the other soups I've made so far (Pork Ramen, Chicken Gumbo, and Bean with ham/sausage), we're off to a good start in fall comfort food! =D

I’m right there with you... autumn butternut squash soup is my favorite, too. I make a Panera-style version with roasted butternut, a little pumpkin, apple cider, and cozy spices, then blend it silky and stir in a splash of cream at the end. It freezes well if you add the cream after reheating. This is the one I use: Panera-style autumn squash

Misa's Mom helped run a bakery. Misa knows how to make comfort food. She makes a pie or cake or something about every 4 months.
We know it will bring us great pleasure.

The only Patak condiment I buy is lime pickle. We make our own mango chutney, marrow chutney, pickles etc.. and generally cook curry from 'scratch'. We always thought of curry as a year round dish.
When it comes to food for Autumn, this is when I get into making soups, stews, casseroles etc. Hard to say what my favourite one is, I suppose a good hearty beef broth must come near the top.

The local soup here is 'Cullen skink' which uses smoked haddock, potatoes and cream and a few other bits.

It's named after the village of Cullen.

First cool snap here, so I made a pot of creamy “Marry Me” chicken soup tender chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in a gentle, Tuscan-style broth. It comes together quickly on the stovetop, feels comforting without being heavy, and the leftovers are lovely for lunch.

Well, when I shop this week, I am going to buy all my ingredients to make a big batch of chili to freeze. I freeze it in single containers...one or two servings. Just right. I usually do chicken soup too, but not sure if I will this year. Maybe a double batch of the chili

Cullin Skink and other Seafood Chowders, Elk roast, roasted chestnuts, butternut squash soup.

Cullen skink ..and all seafood chowders, my absolute favourite. I don't make those myself but I do know a pub that sits on the shore and does an excellent seafood chowder...
