Nowadays hot and sour soup is my comfort soup, and I only really seem to seek that food comfort when I've got a cold. I usually get it at the Citrus Club on Haight Street, but last week Emmett was sick and I made him a hot and sour soup from scratch that he loved.
JZ favors a Vietnamese hot and sour soup with tofu, pineapple and tomatoes. I always drive over to Mai's to get that for her when she's sick or stressed. She also likes tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for comfort food.
Growing up, I really liked a big chunk of ham cooked with green beans and potatoes and recently started doing that for myself a couple times a year. It's so simple and has that hearty quality you want.
I'm also very fond of a beef stew that EM used to make (with wine and spicy sausages), and I requested a pot of it (when she offered something) after Matilda was born.
I guess I like the hearty, homey foods that fill up the kitchen with their scent. Or oatmeal.
