Yummy! Nothing like some good old comfort food.
My family LOVES a good soup on a cold night. We are getting snowed in tomorrow, so it will be a perfect time for soup.
Wow!! These look so great, I know my family will really appreciate something nice and hot after being in the cold this winter!
I am all about the broccoli cheddar soup! It’s my favorite kind of soup but not something I have ever made! Definitely should one day!
Any time I’ve made broccoli-cheese soup, it seems like something is missing. I think adding garlic is the key!
It’s an excellent choice as a starter for guests coming over without spending a lot of extra time.
I love soups and stews in the winter. I’m going to try your broccoli cheese soup tomorrow night with some crusty bread!
It’s currently in the 30’s in Florida, we are totally experiencing a cold snap.All of these look so great!
This looks delish! I love soups in winter, it is the task of preparation that always stops me from making soup. I like how easy this is though.
This used to be my favorite soup when I was vegetarian. I need to play with the recipe and make it vegan.
soup is my go-to meal all for the winter months! Your recipes look so amazing!
It has for sure been sour weather down here in Florida lately! I love some good soup when it is cold out. My favorite is a good potato or broccoli soup!
Oh, I love your Italian Sausage & Tortellini Soup recipe. It’s just what my family needs on these cold nights we are not use to here in north Texas. Thank you.
The wild rice and mushroom soup looks so good. I love a good soup in the winter but I like to find new ones to try. Thanks!
I love me some broccoli and cheese soup but I can’t have much dairy anymore so it’s not as easy to eat =[
Those are some delicious soup recipes an the broccoli and cheese soup is my all-time comfort zone meal.
Oh soups! I love them specially in the cold winter weather! Thanks for the selections you posted. My favorite is the Italian Sausage & Tortellini Soup! I want to make it right now!
Broccoli and cheese soup is my favorite comfort soup! I love dipping toasted Italian bread in it! So delicious 🙂
Soup does sound like a good idea during the cold months. I actually had a cheese and broccoli soup not to long ago.
