But whether the colder weather makes you excited about knee high socks, snowmen and sleep-ins or if you utterly resent layering up and permanently cold toes – one thing that’s for sure is that there is nothing quite like ending the day with a bowl of hot veggie soup snugged up on the couch.
On energy-pressed and time-pressed days, there’s always a good ole’ can of vegan-friendly French Country Vegetable Soup from Amy’s, a dose of Campbell’s Signature Vegan Vegetable Soup or Heinz’s Classic Lentil Soup. Just chuck em’ in a bowl and wait for the ping!
However, if you’re in the mood to get cooking, here are 37 soups and stews are ready to be made with love. Furthermore, every recipe will freeze well without losing flavor and pairs really well with warm pita (because bread).
