caption: Some people make soup one pot at a time. Not Kathryn Louise Greaser likes to make four at once.

We know you’ve been making a lot of soup to fortify yourself during the freezing weather. So what did you use? Instant Pot? Slowcooker?

Everyone has their preferences. And boy, were you vocal about it. Here are the final tallies on which kitchen gadgets you prefer on Facebook:

And on Twitter...

Have you been making soups/stews during these snow days? Food reporter @kuowruby wants your recipes. She also wonders, what do you use?

Seems that people love their Instant pots.

There were also plenty in the old-school camp who asked, 'Hey, where's the stove top option?'

my favorite soup i've made so far has been just roasting a bunch of root veg from the farmer's market in the oven and then stewing it on the stove for an hour or so with some stock. Then blending it with a stick blender. Got me through my post-wisdom teeth extraction!

You even showed us how much you enjoy making soup, the slow way...

Some of you found soup inspiration from... jury duty?

Not my recipe, but yesterday I had delicious beef & barley soup at Piroshki on Third, just north of the King County Courthouse. Exactly what I needed on a day of jury duty. I hope the the chef will share their recipe with you because I'd like it too! https://t.co/jv6uxDC9d2
