Another forever favorite. Deb’s recipe uses so much broccoli that it offsets the cheese and cream. I don’t blend it as much as she does. I like biting into the little broccoli florets.

Truly the most epic tomato soup ever. Roasting the veggies gives it a lovely depth of flavor. Serve with a grilled cheese, of course!

I make this vegetarian soup a few times a month. It is loaded with nutrition and delicious flavors. I highly recommend making socca (linked in the recipe post) to go with the soup.

I have made this soup for so many friends and everyone loves it. I often leave out the noodles and add two cans of white beans instead. This is a great option for my gluten-free friends. Just make sure to leave out the flour if you're making it glute...

This one is creamy but doesn't feel too heavy. I often skip the breadcrumb topping and serve the soup with sourdough fried in olive oil.

This is a great alternative to chicken noodle soup. The hearty kale and rosemary scream fall. You must serve this with a crusty baguette.

I don’t understand how the ingredients in this recipe add up to be such a delicious stew. Can’t wait to make this one as soon as the weather gets colder.

I'm not sure if this is a soup or a stew, but  I love love this recipe. Definitely include a parmesan rind if you have it to add flavor.

This recipe has been a staple for me since it came out years ago. It shares ingredients and flavors of an Indian curry. I prefer cilantro as the finishing herb.

Chili has to have beans in my house, sorry Texans. This chili recipe is smoky and delicious. I love making a big batch of cornbread to go with it.

The ultimate cold-weather comfort food. I often don't have red wine on hand and just add additional beef broth. Serve this one with a nice bread for dipping.
