Favorite Fall Soups

   Guest Post by Mary Ellen Smith of Superior Woodcraft and Mary Ellen’s Cooking Creations

One of my favorite things about the arrival of fall is making soups and stews. I love spending a day in the kitchen preparing food for the busy week, so on Sunday afternoons I will cook a large pot of soup that I can eat throughout the week for lunches. Soups are generally easy to make – once you combine all of the ingredients it can simmer away allowing you to tend to other things.

I try to make a different kind of soup every week, but I do have my favorites that I make more often.

This Chicken Corn Chowder is hearty enough to be a meal. Click on the link for the recipe and a trick for quickly shredding chicken.

 

 

 

And one more chowder without chicken – Potato Corn Chowder with Bacon, because bacon makes everything better. Or for a completely vegetarian chowder, I turn to this Cheesy Vegetable Chowder.

 

There is nothing more comforting than a grilled cheese sandwich paired with a hot bowl of tomato soup. This Fire Roasted Tomato Soup takes it to the next level.

 

 

 

 

A soup that is both healthy and hearty is what this White Bean and Spinach Soup with Brown Rice is.

 

 

 

 

And finally, I love Mexican food so I created this Spicy Taco Soup. The spicy
peppers, tangy tomatoes and bright lime juice all come together in a perfect bowl.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!!
