Favorite chicken soup for cold and flu season, Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
This ‘penicillin-in-a-bowl’ uses one of my favorite short cuts~ a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Orzo fills in for traditional noodles and lemon adds a bright, refreshing note to the chicken broth.
Ina Garten’s Winter Minestrone
I can’t say enough good things about this soup recipe. . .foolproof, hearty, comforting, but the proof is in the bowl. Be sure to have plenty of crusty garlic bread on hand to dunk.
Sausage-Kale and White Bean Soup
Chase away the winter chills with a bowl of hearty Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup! Use the smoked sausage of your choice; turkey or chicken for a healthier alternative or andouille for extra spice and heat.
Irish Beef Stew with Irish Whiskey Soda Bread
No need to wait for St. Patrick’s Day for this cold weather comfort food and a delicious stick-to-your-ribs Irish Stew! You’ll also find a recipe for Irish Whiskey Soda Bread.
Roasted Pear and Butternut Squash Soup
We enjoy this soup year round and it’s a favorite that’s requested regularly by my hubby. It’s super flavorful and bonus: healthy too! Use cubed butternut squash available at most grocery stores for a time-saving shortcut.
Italian Sausage-Butternut and Black Bean Chili
A hearty and colorful chili with the nutrition and flavor bumped up with butternut squash, fire roasted tomatoes and protein-rich black beans. Chia seeds add some unexpected crunch, thickening power and beneficial omega-3s.
Less-Loaded {with Calories not Flavor!} Potato Soup
A recipe makeover for Potato Soup with the addition of oven-roasted cauliflower which becomes sweet and nutty when roasted. The Less-Loaded version is out with the calories and saturated fat~ but in with plenty of flavor and creamy texture, without the cream.
Slow Cooker Smoky Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili {with Cornbread Croutons}
Your slow cooker does all the work in this keeper recipe that’s a nice change from traditional chili. Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add some smoky flavor and a little kick while the sweet potatoes help balance the heat. Make this recipe with the beans of your choice: lima, kidney, white or black beans. Cornbread croutons are a tasty addition and easy to whip up from a 50 cent box of Jiffy corn muffin mix to top your bowl!
A hearty, comforting and creamy chicken tortilla soup that comes together in 30 minutes using a time-saving short cut.

Good morning Mary! Your post spoke to me this morning (as it usually does) 😊. We love Ina Garten’s Minestrone Soup as well but I’m anxious to try all the others you have here. I’m sure I’ve bookmarked some before. I have a Cauliflower Soup that is decadent and I’d love to send it to you. I’ll work on that! Everyone loves it! Thanks for always providing inspiration. I LOVE your blog!! Happy Friday!

I’ve got to make those pie crust crackers Mary! What a delicious round up of your beautiful soups, we had soup for dinner the other night after a very rainy day, it really hit the spot! So many temptations here, I’m going back to do some pinning!
We love soups in my family. Thank you for sharing these!

Mary, I love your roundup of the ultimate autumn comfort food. Each soup looks delicious and perfect for a cool October evening! Happy Friday 🎃
YUM!!! Love all the soups. And Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread is the BEST. Hot, cold, meal, side dish. Thanks.
A lovely round up of comforting soups and bread, those pie crust crackers look awesome. I made turkey chili last night with cornbread. I am making two soups for the upcoming clogger’s luncheon. I am always on the lookout for different soups and chili. Happy weekend.
So many great recipes and inspiration!! I’ve pinned several and looking forward to making them for my family.
It’s definitely soup season! I had lunch with a friend today and we both had too much “all you can eat soup and salad” but I’m still drooling over all these soup recipes. I’m anxious to try the Italian Sausage, Butternut and Black Bean Chili. We don’t eat much squash but this is very tempting.
You are pulling out all the stops sharing these mouthwatering delights! We are still too darn hot, I can’t wait for cold days to snuggle inside and have autumn simmering on the stove. FABULOUS as always!
Thank-you for this round-up, Mary! Perfect timing for me because we’re expecting a freeze tonight here in Central Alabama!
