What’s Not to Love?!
Winter soups are typically heartier than other soups and I look forward to the chilly soup season all year. Arizona doesn’t get as cold as other parts of the world, but we have some cold days, and serving soup on such a day feeds my soul as much as my stomach. Why we love them:
Good for the soul. Chicken Soup has been a go-to for sickness for generations with good reason. Nutrient filled. Soup is an easy-to-eat source of vitamins, minerals, calories, and protein. Cozy. Heartwarming – the feeling of warming your body that helps you feel cozy and safe! Easy. Many can be made ahead of time or in a crock pot.
Choosing any one of these soups that are loaded with vegetables and broth will do the trick! Make a big batch to freeze and keep on hand for you or a friend.
Good Winter Soups
Any warm soup is great in the winter, but it does seem like thicker and more hearty soups make more of an appearance than other soups.
Clear soups with a base of bouillon, broth, and stock are full of hearty and nutritious ingredients and are warm and filling. These include classics like Ham and Bean Soup, and Vegetable Soup. Thicker soups often use creams, cheeses, and roux to make a thick creamy texture as the base like Chicken and Rice Soup, Tomato Bisque, Cheesy Potato Soup, and Clam Chowder.
Best Winter Soups
We love all soups, they are the ultimate comfort food! They also make great freezer meals. Here are some that we make most frequently. Protein. Meat like stew meat, ground beef or sausage, shredded or cubed chicken and turkey, cubed ham, or bacon. Protein alternatives include beans, lentils, and dairy or a topping of roasted nuts. Grains. Common grains include rice, barley, quinoa, or pasta.
Prep ahead. Keep shredded cooked chicken and cooked beef in the freezer. This makes whipping up a soup even faster. Even cook. Cut your veggies roughly the same size that way they cook at the same rate. Bite-size. Make everything bite-size so you get 2-3 different soup elements in each spoonful.
