A warming winter soup!

Nothing says comfort in the winter like a warm, welcoming soup. It heats you up inside and out. Plus, you can freeze the leftovers to enjoy at another time. As a bonus, this soup is cooks up quickly and can be made with items that you would have on hand anyway. For a richer soup, add a couple tablespoons of butter and some heavy cream. It will give the soup a creamier mouthfeel and more velvety texture.
