A recent query on Reddit asked users what their favorite go-to winter soup recipes were. Of course, that caught my eye because I’m a soup fan for twelve months of the year. Answers ranged from creamy soups made with root vegetables and legumes to Italian classic soups like ribollita, hammy bean soups (like White Bean Ham Bone Soup) to interesting soups like gumbo, Kimchi jjigae, and, of course, Italian Wedding Soup.

I think winter soup recipes should belong to their own food category. When you think of comfort food on cold and chilly days, the first thing that pops into my mind is a bowl of steaming soup. A slice of homemade whole-wheat bread doesn’t hurt, either!

What about you? What are your go-to winter soups? I’d love to hear!
