10 Comforting Soups to Savor

Warming homemade soups

When the cold sets in, there is nothing more warming than a variety of homemade soups. National Homemade Soup day is 23rd January and National Soup Month is celebrated in January too! It’s not only a time of year where charitable organisations help raise money to feed the hungry, but it is also a time for people to start sharing their recipes with their neighbours too.

Homemade soups are the ultimate comfort food, and if you are feeling chilly they are the perfect way of warming you up. From simple recipes such as tomato and basil to more complex recipes like butternut squash and bacon, over the years soup has truly evolved as a dish and more and more varieties are entering recipe sites, books and filling up supermarket shelves.

If you want to freeze your leftover soups so that they last longer, ensure that they are a nice smooth texture before they go into the freezer. Let it first cool to room temperature then place it in freezable containers. Frozen soup will keep for between three and four months. To defrost, allow the containers to sit at room temperature for an hour or two and then empty the contents into a pan, add a dash of water and reheat as you would with other soups.
