There’s nothing more comforting than soup season. Here are 33 of our favorite soup recipes to get you through the colder months.

I am always so happy when soup season rolls around each year.  It goes right along side making our daily fires and my snuggling with my fuzzy blanket. The coziness just seems to make the colder months up here in the Northeast more tolerable!

There's something special about a pot of soup simmering away in the kitchen. Maybe it's knowing that tomorrow's lunch is taken care of  and I can tuck some away in the freezer for another day. 

I love that most of these soup recipes can be ready in under 30 minutes with shortcuts like frozen veggies, canned tomatoes and pasta. They're great for weeknights, snow days or even the middle of summer (hello, tomato basil chicken soup with a grilled cheese sandwich)

Whether you enjoy your bowl with a slice of our quick sourdough bread recipe, a sprinkle of parmesan or simply as is.  I've loved creating every single one of these recipes. They are meant to bring you comfort and I hope you find a few new favorites to enjoy.

Use any favorite cooking oil instead of olive oil.
Use more oil instead of the butter to saute the vegetables, if you prefer.
Use ½ teaspoon of dried rosemary in place of fresh rosemary
Use any size shrimp you prefer. Smaller shrimp will cook faster. You can also chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces if you’d like after cooking.
Use a mirepoix mix for quick prep carrots, celery, and onion.
Use gluten free one-to-one flour is desired.
Use thyme instead of rosemary.
Use seafood stock or vegetable stock instead of chicken broth.

Add more or less heavy cream based on your personal preference of creaminess.
Omit the bay leaf if preferred.
