Hearty winter soups are easy to make and will take the chill off a cold winter day. Most of these soup recipes freeze well, so make a big pot and save some for later. Serve with a side salad and a warm loaf of crusty homemade bread,and dinner is done!


Wild Rice Chowder Recipe - You can make this a thick vegetarian chowder meat-free and dairy-free for a vegan soup, loaded with carrots, corn and wild rice.  Or add meat and half and half for a hearty meal. Makes a great first course too, and would be an excellent alternative for a vegan Thanksgiving dinner.

 

Award Winning Vegetarian Chili Recipe - Even if you're not a vegetarian, this chili will knock your socks off! Make it with hamburger, sausage orchicken for a meat-lovers chili. Easy to make and cheap too!

 

New England Clam Chowder Recipe - When you think of thick white clam chowder, thoughts of Maine and the rocky coastline come to mind. "Chowdah" is great served in a crock or bowl with oyster crackers, which by the way, have nothing to do with oysters.

 

French Onion Soup Recipe - Carmelized onions simmered in beef broth and wine, topped with French bread and melted cheese. Easy homemade French Onion Soup is the ultimate comfort food!

 

Chunky Corn Chowder Recipe - Farmhouse style corn chowder is still king. Loaded with potatoes, onions, bacon and corn, this cheap corn chowder recipe is a crowd pleaser.

 

Extra Thick Split Pea Soup Recipe - Your house will smell great all afternoon while this chunky soup merrily bubbles away. It does take two and a half hours to simmer, but only a few minutes prep time. Even though this is a healthy vegetarian soup, it can be made the traditional way with ham or kielbasa. Experiment with other winter vegetables for variety.

Hearty Borscht Recipe - All borscht recipes have one thing in common - BEETS!  Whether it's Polish borscht, Ukrainian, or Russian borscht, hot or cold borscht, beef borscht or vegetarian borscht - it doesn't matter where it comes from, borscht is delicious when made the right way. And there's the rub. Everyone makes borscht a little different according to family customs, and they all think their borscht is the best!
