It’s a soup, and it should be easy and comforting. As with all the good things in life, you got to taste it to know it’s right. Oh, by the way, you can make a big batch and freeze it.

To be truthful anything that involves fried dough will hold a dear place in my heart forever.

Just take the scraps, form into a ball and let it rest for an hour. Then roll out and cut out the donuts just like round one. Oh and don’t forget to use the donut holes to make mini ones.</p> <p>Besides the basic donut recipe, I’ve also included one for a vanilla glaze and a chocolate frosting.
