These are the best soup and stew recipes. I start making these in September as soon as I feel a chill in the air. I also love picking 3-4 of these recipes and hosting a soup party.

For me, soups and stews are all about the toppings and accompanying carbs. I always serve these with tortilla chips, crusty bread, flatbread, or a sandwich.
