These hearty soup recipes will make your life easier and your family happy on a chilly night. What could be more comforting than a bowl of steaming soup after a long day?
Living in Florida, you might think we don't have cold nights, but trust me when I tell you, we do! I know it's all relative, but I think below 40 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty chilly!
In fact, in the first year of living in Florida, we had to scrape our windshields a couple of times. Thankfully, it hasn't gotten that cold again. We moved here mainly for the warm weather. I would rather visit the cold than live there!
No matter the weather, these hearty soup recipes are just good food! It's easy. It's often a one-pot meal for easy clean-up. Only a bowl is needed for serving unless you're having bread on the side, which I always do. Check out the recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits at the end!
