There is nothing better than a big bowl of hot soup on a cold, fall evening.
Don't you just love bundling yourself in a big, knit sweater and dishing up some healthy comfort food when there's a chill in the air?
It's one of the best parts of life if you ask me!
Plus, there are so many different kinds of soup, stew and chili to try. Allow me to share some of my favorites!

My best tip for soup season:
I know it may be obvious to some, but it took me a long time to figure this out...
Instead of filling your grocery cart with heavy, bulky boxes/cans of broth, stock up on different kinds of bouillon or broth base!
These days, I always have beef, chicken & vegetable on hand.
Bullion doesn't take up much refrigerator or pantry space, making it easy to keep lots on hand. Avoid that heavy grocery cart and make less trips to the store. It's so convenient.
You NEED a bowl cozy!
A few years ago my mom introduced me to a bowl cozies. I love them so much! They protect your hands and make it easy to curl up with a hot bowl of soup.
Plus, there are so many cute ones out there. I highly recommend purchasing a few if you don't have any yet!
21 cozy soup recipes to try:
