Hearty Rutabaga Soup
Root vegetables are so much a part of the winter pantry in the Northeast. The Ross School purchased, literally, tons of them and served them from December until March or April. This hearty soup will warm the chills of fall and winter right out of your family and is great packed in a thermos for lunch at school.
