I’ve probably talked about this before, but the weather is turning cold again, which, I’ve decided, gives me license to talk about soup, comfort food, and other over-discussed topics. Stick with me, kay?

Anyway, I woke up Sunday morning, and it was COLD. Like, skip-the-fall-and-rush-straight-into-winter-kinda-cold. And I knew I needed to make a big pot of soup.

As an aside, I need to tell you (again, in case you weren’t paying attention the last bunch of times) one of my favorite things to do for eating healthy on limited time. Make a big pot of soup. Get yourself some containers (I like those 16 ounce disposable kind) and fill ’em with soup. Stick said containers in your freezer, and pull one out whenever you’re a) pressed for time b) want a healthy, homemade option or c) find yourself craving warm comfort food on a cold day.

So back to this soup: Hearty Autumn Vegetable Soup…it’s hearty and rich, really filling, packed with flavor, has a bit of protein thrown in for good measure, and does exactly what I needed it to do: warms you up on a cold day.

    My favorite soup on a cold day is good old split pea. I make it with a smoked turkey leg instead of ham, though. With plenty of sliced carrots, fresh garlic and sliced onions, add enough salt and a few black peppercorns and bay leaves for spicing…. Can’t be beat!

    I made this for dinner tonight instead of traditional chicken soup which I always make and it was absolutely delicious! At first my husband made a face and then he had 3 bowls! I’m so excited to have this recipe for the winter.

    So hungry when I see this post. I’m going to try to make it myself but I’m concerning about which kind of onion we should use in step #2 for this recipe as I think it’s important element.
