The moment the temperature drops, I want a big pot of something warm and fragrant simmering on the stove. Soup season is honestly one of my favorite times of year in the kitchen and I refuse to apologize for that. These are my favorite fall soups and stews, from light and brothy to thick and hearty. Make a big batch, pour yourself a bowl, and let the season officially begin.
