Hearty soup recipes for winter are always fun and easy. We thought we would share a few with you now and I am sure we will have more to share as we build our list of hearty soup recipes for winter. Some of our recipes are old stand bys and some are “throw together what we have” type soup or stew. Soups and stews are a great way to be ready for drop-in guests or that last-minute invites of family and friends. Right now we are busy doing repairs on the inside of our home and I never know when a couple of men will stop by to help my hubby so a nice large pot of soup is just right for feeding the extra ones and warming them up from being out in the cold.
We hope you will try some of our hearty soup recipes for winter and remember to come back to let us know how like them if you “tweak” them some to make them your own. Also, let us know if you add sides to your soup bowl. We tend to go with cornbread, crackers or some will call for tortilla chips or corn chips.
