I like to cook plenty of winter soups, whether in my crockpot or simmering on the back burner. Usually I make my winter soups on a Sunday and serve as a Sunday dinner.
Most times I always cook a big batch of soup to give away to my daughters. Check out all of my crockpot soup recipes!
I try to cook the best soup recipes for the freezer. That way, there’s always an easy meal available that can be served with a fresh loaf of homemade bread that I bake, such as my Onion Dilly Bread, or make in my breadmaker, such as my favorite Irish Soda Bread.
