When the temperature drops and the days get shorter, most of us crave something warm and comforting at the end of the day.
Homemade soup is a smart pick – it has a high water content, which makes you feel full, plus like salad, it’s a great vehicle for eating more veggies. Also, homemade soup has much less sodium than anything you can get in a can.

Here are 3 options we love for 3 different types of cooks:
Slow Cooker Sausage Spinach & White Bean Soup from Damn Delicious
For the early birds who love to set-it-and-forget-it first thing in the a.m. Knowing dinner is bubbling away while you’re off hard charging your day is a supremely satisfying feeling -- and almost enough to make you a morning person.
5-Ingredient Chicken Tortilla Soup from Together as a Family
For the weeknight warriors who want to walk in the door and whip up a hot pot in a flash. This soup does require a few spices beyond the 5 main ingredients, but it’s dead easy and ready in 20 minutes (or less).
Easy Vegetarian Chili from She Wears Many Hats
For the weekend warriors who like to plan ahead. Make a double batch of this vegetarian soup on Sunday and you’ll have a few dinners and lunches at the ready for the week ahead. It also freezes beautifully for the super-duper meal planners.
Spoons up!
