  1. Thanks so much for listing the recipes with lots of stunning pictures and relevant detail. Seems like my entire dinner menu for the upcoming month has been planned now! My grandma used to make some lovely chicken soup. I have fond memories of having chicken soup and watching cartoons while it’s snowing and chilly outside. I will definitely try these recipes for a quick warm-up after long, tiring day at work. I also like the fact that these soups freeze well, as I usually prefer making a triple-batch or so and then stash them up in the freezer for later use. You know I tend to get a bit lazy in the kitchen on weekdays.

  2. Soups are my favorite! I can have them all year long and all of these look so comforting and delicious! I can’t wait to add them to our dinner menu! Thanks, Averie! :) 

  3. So far, I’ve tried 3 of these. Paula and I want to try the same soups–let’s see who gets there first!  I’m betting she does.  My daughter is still talking about “that cheesy soup with chicken” aka your chicken potato chowder.  My fave (I’ve made it twice, which is always a good sign) is the white chicken chili.  We love soup at our house and I appreciate that you have helped me add to my soup recipe rotation.  I love tomatoes but they don’t always love me, and it’s nice to find some tomato-free soup recipes.  

    1. I love tomatoes too, eat at least one every day. Sorry they don’t always love you back! And that’s great to hear you’ve made the white chicken chili twice! LMK which other ones you try!

  4. There is a nasty cold being passed around my house and our area is getting hit with the first REALLY cold days. I need all of these soups!

  5. Love this round-up of soups! It;s always nice to know where to go to find a bunch of options and even better when they are the simple and easy ones! Yours all look amazing and I especially am digging the Chicken Tortellini Soup! Looks amazzzzzzzzzing!

  6. I have tried many of these and they are all wonderful! I love recaps like this though because I am reminded of a couple I’d still like to try (the minestrone and chicken noodle). I am planning on making the skinny carrot – potato later this week as I have a surplus of carrots right now.

    1. Thanks for trying so many of them over the years and way to put your carrots to use with the skinny carrot soup later this week!
