What is your favorite winter soup?

Question

Winter officially arrived where I am at. I am missing my mom’s weekly homemade soup she would make during the winter months. What is your favorite?

Ya know what, I started making a variety of soups for the very first time, a couple years ago. And I am NOT a cook. But from trying a ton of different soups, I would say my top ‘winter’ (which doesn’t really ever show up where I live) soups would be:
* Easy, basic Chicken noodle soup (with minor tweaks)
* There was an Irish website I came across— some lady’s ‘Celtic cooking warrior blog’ a long time ago, and she had the most simple hearty soup that I’ve perfected: Onion, Potato soup, with carrot confetti in it—it is outstanding and super easy, and remarkable for how few ingredients are in there—and I imagine it being perfect for Minnesota or Canada level winter storms.
* Finally, my other go-to winter soup is (I kid you not) homemade Broccoli Cheddar soup. Now, this soup I have made probably like 150x’s —it is ABSOLUTELY delicious, and I never had tasted any version of that soup before, although I had heard of it— but so I really didn’t have any expectations. As I am sure you know, some people grew up eating many versions of that soup, and might have some preconceptions about taste and texture. But that aside, I got this specifically from a video on YouTube, called “31 One Pot Recipes” which is like 30 mins long, and has literally MILLIONS of views, and everyone I’ve turned on to this recipe has flipped over it. It is so good. …. and I hate cooking. I’m much better at cleaning!
I wish my boyfriend liked to cook, but him and I both hate it, and will sometimes give it a shot—we are good judges of what is in our skill set and what is not, so we don’t fu*k sh*t up too badly.

Peas soup.
This soup bases on slow cooked veggie-beef stock, dried whole peas and smoked ham pieces.
It's often cooked on drive hunts in 200L mobile military pots for people who drive wild out of the woods. This is the taste of late autumn. Peas don't cook to mush like potatoes, beans and other veggies that's why this soup can be cooked in such huge pots and somehow this soup tastes better cooked in such huge mass than cooked in 6L pot at home.

Oh man, in general I could live off soups. I love em. But if I had to choose 3 for winter it would be... Homemade vegetable soup (mom's recipe) - Tomato based with beef broth, beef stew meat chunks, potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, and parsnips. Just a "stick to your ribs" comfort food for cold weather. Texas Red Chili - A deep red tomato based chili with spices and stew beef again and I violate the Texas Red oath by adding pinto beans. I like the beans. It can be a Sunday football snack or the evening meal. Another gut filling comfort food. Indian Hyderabad Lime Soup - For a gourmet option this stuff is incredible with a dinner. Pureed potatoes and onions and a bunch of delicate spices cooked in a cheesecloth bundle so they can be removed after cooking. Stuff like clove and green cardamom pods, and cinnamon sticks you wouldn't want in your soup. Finished off with cream, a dollop of sour cream and a quarter slice of lime for adding the juice to taste.

A soul-warming bowl of Zuppa Toscana is my go-to winter favorite. The creamy, savory flavors of this Italian classic, with its blend of spicy sausage, tender kale, and hearty potatoes, truly capture the essence of comfort on a chilly day. A version I once had in a small Tuscan village remains etched in memory. Its simplicity and depth made it a standout amidst the cozy background of the Italian countryside. 🌿🍲

In the winter, I like soups like pumpkin soup, and others with lots of vegetables as in "Nabe" soups" and hot-pots. I once made a delicious pumpkin soup that was creamy and sweet at the same time. Hot pots have a broth and many vegetables and proteins in it. Does the one in the picture contain tofu, or are those turnips? Looks delicious.

EchoD · Answer

It is soup season but this one I’d gladly make any time of year. That soup is French Onion Soup. Anytime I’m at a restaurant I hope they have this soup before my meal. The flavor of all those cooked onions and the delicious baked cheese on top, and you can’t forget about the bread that soaks up delicious broth. I can’t say enough good things about this soup. Talking about this soul makes me want to go make some right now.

HollyK21 · Answer

We make really good homemade chicken soup which is just awesome for sitting by the woodstove with on a cold winters day and there just seems to be something about chicken soup that warms u up a little extra special somehow.

AgentG111 · Answer

Wow, that's an excellent question.

I definitely enjoy a good beef and barley yet a hearty tomato is great and stuffed pepper is awesome, yet cream of potatoes and bacon is beyond excellent. Chicken Noodle is great as well especially when you are under the weather.

DishLady · Answer

To warm up I love Carrot-Ginger (or Squash) are the two go-to at home, but I love Stracciatella and Avgolemono if I'm not feeling well.  Which reminds me of one of my fave spoof videos:::

Tarifa · Answer

It's not even close to winter temps down here in southern Spain, rather spring temperatures. So 'winter soup' is not on my mind right now.

I suppose it would have to be based on vegetables and chicken. Full of nutrients and of course served hot.

Cream of potato soup. With some bacon or ham in it. Perfect for cold winter evenings. And it's easy to make, and it keeps well so you can make enough for several meals.

That’s a tough choice! I make a mean split pea soup and my mom’s chicken noodle soup, but I think my favorite is homemade French onion.
