With fall here and winter on the horizon, there is nothing better than a bowl of homemade soup to warm the body and soul. We have gathered five harvest favourites. When making soups, one of the most crucial ingredients is the stock. You can make your own, or if you are in a pinch or don’t have time, we recommended Better Than Bouillon. It comes in a variety of flavours and is also great in gravy.
The key ingredient to the soup is roasting the vegetables in the oven until they are slightly charred. It creates a flavour-filled soup that will keep your family asking for more.
