Winter soup - what are you making?

Just made this yummy Sausage and Tortellini soup last night. It uses Trader Joe's Holiday Hash (chopped butternut squash, onions, seasonings) and fully cooked chicken sausage so it came together quickly.

I subbed chicken broth for the beef broth that the author listed.

I made a big batch of salmon chowder - OMG so good. I make it a couple times every winter. And not a soup per se, but still winter comfort food - I just made a chicken pot pie with herbed crust. Perfect on these cold Canadian days.

I made this last weekend. Yum!

Hearty Homemade Corn Chowder

wor wonton
albondigas
chicken noodle
beef barley
smoked salmon chowder
potato cheese (still searching for a good recipe)

I make this recipe every week during the cold months. It's one of my favorites as it uses kitchen staples and you can alter easily based on the vegetables on hand. It tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to marry. I like serving with corn bread.


Vegan Black Bean Stew

1 onion, diced
3-5 bell peppers, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tablespoons Penzeys Taco seasoning (or 1 taco seasoning packet)
28oz can crushed tomatoes with basil
10oz can diced green chiles
2x 14oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 carton (4 quarts) vegetable broth
1 pouch frozen brown rice, cooked in the microwave
10oz bag frozen corn kernels
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
pinch of sugar


1. In a large stock pot, sauté onion, bell pepper and garlic until soft (about 7-10 minutes). Splash with vegetable stock if vegetables begin to stick. Add taco seasoning, sugar, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir until combined, about 30 seconds.

2. Add crushed tomatoes, diced green chiles, black beans, cooked brown rice, frozen corn kernels and vegetable broth. Bring back to medium heat until it starts to boil, then drop temperature to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

salmon chowder? sounds good - recipe please

I made chili over the weekend, chicken stew last night and cauliflower cheese soup is on the menu for tomorrow. Italian wedding next week for sure and haven't thought beyond that.

ETA: I forgot that DH made posole last week too.  

We also have a vegetarian so I usually substitute Impossible meat for her.  For the chicken stew, the rest of us get chicken but she gets a chicken substitute. 

that sounds like my answer.. except I go nuts over Costco's Lobster Bisque.... I buy it when I can which isn't often.

We're having chicken and rice soup tonight, and probably tomorrow!
Monday we had cheeseburger soup. It was delicious.
My husband does not like to try new things, darn it. So I usually make the old stand bys.

I’ve been buying cheddar broccoli soup from Whole Foods it is sooooo good.

I made chicken sausage, spinach and chickpea soup last night.   I got the recipe from Hello Fresh when I used them for a couple of weeks last year.
Kept the recipe card and tweaked it a bit.
Best part is we're having it again tonight so I don't have to cook! 

We make a soup every week between Thanksgiving and spring. This week it's going to be Leftover ham bone soup with potatoes and cabbage We saved the ham bone and some ham from Christmas. We've made it before and it is sooooo good.

I like making this in winter, but I add seasoning. (Ol girl has almost no spices in this! I add plenty of garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme because it's kinda not enough flavor without!)

I make it with the acini de pepe or with orzo, depending on whatever I have around. It's very comforting.
