January 10, 2022 - National Cut Your Energy Costs Day | National Soup Month

Welcome to January 10th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate cutting costs and savory soup. If you believe in the old adage that “a penny saved is a penny earned” then listen up! Did you know that tuning up your heating system can save from three to ten percent on your energy bill? And that’s not all. Tips such as carpooling, taking shorter showers and using energy efficient light bulbs can make a huge difference to your bottom line. On National Cut Your Energy Costs Day, celebrate the little things that add up to big savings! Some say that the secret to delicious soup is letting the ingredients simmer for a long time. But how about a recipe that's been simmering for 45 years? On a busy street in Bangkok, one soup pot has been tended by three generations of cooks, who stir and add ingredients to it every single day. The flavor of this Beef Noodle soup is incomparable and those who have tried it are devoted fans. About 150 pounds of beef are used to make the soup each day. And each night a portion of it is placed in a separate pot to simmer while the main 5 foot pot is washed. Not all recipes take 45 years, and we bet that Mom’s chicken noodle tastes just as good to you. During National Soup Month simmer up your own favorite recipe for a bowl of warm comfort.
