I've come up with a few different types of easy yummy Fall and Winter Soups to make that will appeal to many people and are relatively easy to prepare.
A lot people, me included at one time, are inclined to think that soup is rather a difficult dish to make. However I've discovered that this isn't the case, and that making soup can actually be really enjoyable and have a delicious result.
It's easy to make soup from leftovers - a favorite is Stuffed Peppers Soup, or Golumpki soup made from my leftover Lazy Golumpki stuffed cabbage casserole recipe. I've even turned leftover Pot Roast into a soup for lunch or dinner.
Easy Soups to Make
A Crockpot is my best friend for cooking Fall and Winter meals.First, we have an old favorite of Crockpot Slow Cooker Leek and potato soup. There are two ways you can enjoy eating this, either cream, or not blended, and each way has its own distinct merits. If you blend it, you'll truly enjoy the soft texture that this technique creates and it looks wonderful as well, perfect for serving up at dinner parties, or even enjoying while chilling out sipping wine around the fireplace in winter or playing cribbage or your favorite family board games.
The ingredients also go very well when prepared as a cream soup too, so if you blend it, add in some of this and you'll have a meal of pure indulgence.
However you can also leave the soup unblended, allowing you to enjoy the textures of the leeks and the potatoes, as well as the broth it produces. This can be perfect for those cold winter nights when all you want is a hearty, warm dinner.
Homemade soups are always a great dish to bring for someone who's under the weather, has a new baby in the house, or loss of a family member. Ready-to-Serve, and bring along a gift-basket of colorful Handmade Dish Cloths from Moomettes Shops for easy kitchen clean-up.

The basic principles of soup making are to chop up all the ingredients, saute them for around ten minutes and then add the stock. I like to use my homemade Chicken Stock from a roaster, or homemade scrappy veggie stock. When I don't make stock from scratch, I buy boxed Chicken Stock or Beef Stock from the grocery store, whatever is on sale.

Fall and Winter Vegetable Soups
Butternut squash soup can also be blended or not. The wonderful thing about butternut squash is that it's unusual yet yummy, and you can combine it with most of the same ingredients that you use to make leek and potato soup.The basic principles of soup making are to chop up all the ingredients, saute them for around ten minutes and then add the stock.

Boil until the ingredients are cooked and semi-soft, season with salt and pepper, any of your favorite seasons to taste, and blend if you prefer.
