warming foods on cold winter days

we aren't seeing the coldest of winters, at least here in the washington, dc area, we do cycle through some fairly cold days.

there are certain foods and beverages that we can enjoy that have a nice warming affect on the body. i really like to put fennel seeds, ginger and cloves in my tea. these all have a warming affect. of course, a nice hot soup always hits the spot on a cold day.

what do you like to have to stay warm on a cold winter day?
