Even though it comes around every year, winter seems to sneak up on me every time. Where we live, winter is COLD, the kind of cold that makes you want to curl up under a blanket in front of the fireplace and not move until Spring.
On those cold winter days, a steaming hot bowl of hearty soup seems to hit the spot. We eat soup year-round because I find that it’s an easy meal in terms of preparation, especially when made ahead and frozen and then heated in the crock pot. It’s also a good way to get a fair bit of variety into one meal, with some soup recipes having vegetables, meat and starches in one dish.
I’ve gathered this collection of some of our favourite soup recipes for winter (or any other time of year). I chose these particular recipes because they are filling and can be a meal on their own and some of them include ingredients that are seasonal for Fall or Winter. Many of them are gluten free, which is great for our family since one of our sons is gluten-free.
