With mid-October upon us this week, hearty, comforting soups are on my mind for supper meals. My husband and I really love Soup season. I have a pretty big variety of soup recipes that I have made over and over through the years. Maybe part of the reason we enjoy them is because of the memories of cool nights our round oak table accented with dripping candles, my harvest-colored bowls, fall cloth napkins, and my playlist I named, “Autumn” playing on Alexa. It’s cozy, homey and inviting. Fall perfection.

A couple weeks ago I had some purchased some broccoli to make, “The Best Broccoli Soup.” I’ve shared this in the past, but like so many of my recipes, I had shared it with another recipe, and it didn’t get a good spotlight. I wanted to share it before your soup season gets rolling. This recipe feeds a family and is so cost-effective. The night I made this, my daughter and her family dropped in and I invited them so stay for dinner. There was plenty for the six of us.
