sebrani alhachmi

Soup may very well be the perfect food to get you through fall and winter. It warms you on a cold day, sustains you when you’re sick, helps you feed a crowd, and makes easy-to-eat leftovers. We love a “throw-it-all-in-the-pot” stone soup, but we also appreciate a soup with a bit more forethought. For those occasions, we humbly present this list of our very favorite soups: brothy delights, creamy chowders, veggie-packed broths, hearty stews, and more. Here are more than 60 warming, comforting, delicious and especially hearty soup recipes for every occasion.
