I know, I know – right now, it feels like winter will never end. But before we know it, the heavy coats will go back in storage, the sun will stick around a little longer, and suddenly, it’ll be time for fresh salads and iced coffee again. So while the chilly days are still here, we might as well make the most of them – with soup! Personally, I believe soup season lasts all year, but there’s something extra special about cozying up with a warm bowl when it’s still cold outside. Whether you love creamy and comforting, brothy and light, or chunky and hearty, this list has a soup for every mood.
