Soup Season

As the air grows crisp, it’s time to pull out your soup pot or Dutch oven and revisit the most nourishing part of the year – soup season. Not only does it add tangible comfort to any meal, it’s a great way to incorporate vegetables and blend flavors in different ways than you would in the warmer months. Plus, it’s easy to double (or triple!) if you’re feeding a crowd.

Here are my favorite soup recipes that are simple to make, loved by all and lead everyone to leave the table feeling warm and full.

• Chicken Tortilla Soup

• Traditional Beef Stew

• White Chicken Chili

• Chicken Noodle Soup

• Butternut Squash Soup

• Chicken Wild Rice Soup

• Creamy Potato Soup

My favorite places to look for soup recipe inspiration are Half Baked Harvest and The New York Times Cooking sites, so check those out, too.
