“To feel safe and warm on a cold wet night, all you really need is soup.”
–Laurie Colwin

Laurie Colwin, author of Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen, was clearly a very wise woman. One of the most comforting a satisfying foods there is, a good soup can serve as the first act of a very good meal or it can stand on its own served with crackers or a crusty hunk of bread.

Below are 7 creamy tasting soup recipes to help your body and soul stay nourished this winter.

To deliciously take the soup you make to the next level, consider serving it in an easy to make bread bowl.
