Some homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese on homemade wheat bread.
We had that earlier this week. Wife made about 10 quarts of the soup last fall. Froze it and we pull one out every couple weeks. Paired with grilled sourdough bread cheese sandwiches.
A few years ago I started putting up "creamy tomato basil" soup instead of canning all of our tomatoes. I made 12 quarts last fall, put up 10 of them. I'll probably have some prime rib grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner tomorrow. 
I also put up 4 quarts of smoked butternut squash soup, and 6 quarts of Cream of Chanterelle mushroom soup base when I had piles of mushrooms back in the summer. The mushroom soup has to be finished with egg yolks and cream, so I can only freeze the mushroom/shallot/velouté base. I made/finished a batch of it a month or so ago and it was as good as, maybe better than making it fresh. I am big fan of soup. Good soup, that is.

All that sounds great except the butternut squash. I cant stand butternut squash or pumpkin stuff other than pumpkin pie.
I made 10 quarts of Chili three weeks ago, froze 4 quarts of that, too. I was happy to eat a gallon and a half of that before I decided to save some for later. Well, I did let Nancy have some, too. Next up is probably going to be vegetable beef soup. Going to try to get some GOOD beef bones with some meat on them for the stock this time. Neck bones or oxtail if I can find it.

Ok, you win. I'm having a Martini in a little while.I’m still waiting on thepic
Now I remember why I laid off of these. Sooo good. One Martini, two Martini, three Martini, floor…
That is a dirty vodka martini. Save my gin for other things.
