Day light savings is happening this Sunday. Combat the dark season blues with my 5 Top Soup Recipes.
Hello darkness, my old friend.
I almost missed it.
That little note on the calendar for this Sunday. Not my daughter’s watercolor class or the list of to-do’s I have scribbled down. It’s day light savings; the official welcome into dark season.
Some people fear dark season, but I lean into it. The firewood is already stacked inside, waiting for the first all-day crackling hearth session. I have unleashed my entire stash of tall warm boot socks. Most importantly, I have brought out the big soup pots. They have been living in stand by mode for the past few weeks.
Let’s rebrand dark season as cozy season…as soup season.
My 5 Top Soup Recipes!
These 5 soup recipes are the ones I make on repeat from now until May. 4 out of the 5 of these soups are hearty meal soups; one pot wonders that are fully nutritionally balanced. All you need is a bowl and supper is served!
1.Hearty Minestrone Soup:
My Hearty Minestrone Soup is my number one favorite soup! My kids call it big bean soup because of the tender butter beans. This soup contains seasonal vegetables, beans, pasta, garlicky mounds of broccoli rabe, piles of cheese and a luxurious glug of extra virgin olive oil.
2. Yemeni Style Chicken Soup:
If you want a soup that cures just about anything winter germs have to throw at you, this is the soup for you! Yemeni Style Chicken Soup warms your soul with ginger, garlic, loads of vegetables and chickpeas. This soup is spiced with Hiwaij and freshly squeezed lemon.
3. Spiced Lentil Spare Rib Soup:
This is not only my children’s favorite soup, but the meal that has been nominated as “omg yum” by many a guest. Spiced Lentil Spare Rib Soup is a deep, rich, hearty soup filled with tender beef and warming spices.
4. Roasted Pumpkin Soup:
This is the only soup that doesn’t fit the bill as a meal soup…but make no mistake, Roasted Pumpkin Soup is hearty and soul nourishing. Cozy up to this silky smooth Roasted Pumpkin Soup…blended with fennel, apple and garlic. It’s drizzled with syrupy balsamic vinegar, toasty challah croutons and a fleck of Basque chili powder.
5. tuscan-kale-and-white-bean-soup:
If you want an easy, hearty one pot supper, look no further than Tuscan Kale & White Bean Soup with Chicken Meatballs. This all inclusive meal soup is protein packed, loaded with greens, orzo and has a garlicky, lemony finish. It’s easy to prep and tastes better the longer it hangs in the fridge, making it the ultimate mid week meal.
