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.
What is better than a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich on a frosty evening? Not that it needs more flavour but topped with croutons and grated cheese, this soup is yum!
