Now that's a good soup for a winter's day! Brussle sprouts just don't get the appreciation they ought to. A quick saute and they are great, I think. Or slow roasted. Or in your soup!! :D

Thanks @haphazard-hstead! We got more snow last night...and it's been bitter cold. I enjoyed seeing your spring greenery in your crepe post. It gave me hope. LOL
Yep, this time of year is when folks in snow-covered areas want some hope! My first year of living in Michigan we had 3 feet of snow (level with an old house's walk-up porch), clear into April. But maybe this will just prolong your good season for maple syrup, there in Ontario. Hang in there. Spring's coming! When my mom got snow last week in Arkansas, she made snowballs for her cranberry margaritas. So you can still enjoy nature's bounty in one way or another, lol.
Hahaha! That's fantastic! Thanks for your optimism. Your Mom has it right. Just like the adage "If you are given lemons, make lemonade".
I wonder how many ways you can use snow! Fill your freezer now, haha. ; )
hahaha! There's a lot...right now maple sap is being harvested and boiled down in sugar shacks in Ontario and Quebec. When the syrup is ready but still hot, it gets poured directly on the snow which causes it to turn to a taffy. This taffy is twirled on a stick very quickly, to make a portable candy. Couldn't happen without clean snow. ;)
