Winter soup - what are you making?

Soups I've made in the last several weeks, all good:

And I've made several pots of just "winging it" soup, too. Chicken noodles and vegetable and whatnot. I love making soup, it's such a good way to use things up and get lots of veggies into yourself.

Last week I made Cheesy Ham Chowder. We also like Chicken Wild Rice, Baked Potato Soup, and White Chili.

All four are soup season, just sayin'.
Love soup!

Where I live there are two seasons. Hell and soup season. 😁

White Chicken Chili, seafood bisque, potato corn chowder.

Ok if it’s not “soup” season it’s crockpot season and that’s what I’m making lol.

One of our favourites is this super-easy, only 7 ingredients Italian Wedding Soup. I do not make my own little tiny meatballs, but buy the really good frozen ones. I semi-thaw about 18 of them and cut them into eighths.

Bring 2 cartons of chicken stock to a boil, then turn down. Add the little 'meatballs', some black pepper, two chopped up green onions, two chicken bouillon cubes, half a package of frozen spinach and 5-6 spoonsful of acini de pepe pasta.

Bring it all back to almost boiling, then turn down again. Cover and let simmer for about an hour or until the pasta swells. My DH doesn't like parmesan cheese, so I don't add it into the pot of soup itself. I may put some on mine, though, but it's not really a necessity to me.

Just started a pot of stew. First stew of the winter! Boy-oh-boy does the house smell good!

I am going to try making this one: www.halfbakedharvest.com/creamy-white-lasagna-soup/

I made this www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/creamy-potato-cabbage-soup-recipe last week. Neither of us liked it, and the leftovers were inedible, curdled and nasty. I hate wasting leftovers!

I made the soup this morning. It’s really good! And so easy to make. Thanks for sharing the link.

Oh this sounds so good I think I am going to have to try this. Adding a few ingredients to my list.

Cream of Mushroom!

A childhood favorite—I loved Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup as a kid and growing up—the ultimate comfort food.

Then a few years ago, I made up a recipe that is so freaking good that I don’t buy Campbell’s at all! I just make my own. It’s simple and is done in 30 minutes.

We are big soup eaters in my house. I make soup at least once a week in the winter. I just made a huge pot of veggie soup on Friday, and I will freeze the leftovers in individual portions for lunches. For veggie soup, I make a base of chopped carrots, onions and celery sauteed for a bit in butter and garlic. I cook some kind of beef--whatever I have on hand or is on sale--ground beef, stew meat, sometimes even a roast that I cook and then shred. I use a mixture of beef broth and V8 juice, salt, pepper and thyme, simmer all that together. Then, I make a bunch of different veggies since everyone likes different things, so each person can add what they want. I usually have corn, lima beans and potatoes. This weeks version had sweet potatoes since I had some I needed to use up. I also sometimes cook turnips and even cauliflower. We have a soup bar. LOL

A new soup I have been making is cauliflower. It's so easy--I rough chop an onion and some carrots, throw in some garlic cloves whole, saute that a bit. Add vegetable broth, salt and pepper, and a chopped head of cauliflower. I simmer that until the cauliflower is soft, then I puree it with my immersion blender. It is very creamy, but there is no cream or cheese in it. Sometimes, I cook some bacon and crumble that on top along with some cheddar cheese, but it's good on it's on, especially with a grilled cheese to dip in it.

Oh, recipe please!  I love mushroom soup!
