You're welcome, @team 101! We're big fans of soup and make them year round because we usually cook in our sustainable outdoor kitchen. However they are especially satisfying as the weather gets colder and we use the indoor wood burning stove for heating our communal space! It's great fun to put a big pot on the stove to bubble away and make the house smell great and add a bit of moisture to the air. We get the heating, the soup making, AND the wood burning stove heats our water for showers too - super sustainable efficiency!

He-he, you're right - it is a GOOD way to add a bit of moisture into the space ♦♦ You're fortunate to have an outdoor #kitchen.

I know my spouse would LOVE To have 1 !!

Oh yes, we count our blessings every day! It is actually relatively easy to make your own outdoor kitchen appliances. You can use just Earthen materials to build your own rocket stove. Check out this link for a tutorial:
