Keep Warm With These 10 Soups For Winter

Despite winter having only just started, the colder weather is well and truly here and here to stay, (at least for the next three months anyway). So how do we respond? We change over to our winter wardrobes, drag out the flannelette sheets and suddenly, scarves and umbrellas become the best things since sliced bread. Yet along with these changes comes a shift to our diets, as we tend to crave comfort foods which often includes a lot of bread, rice, potatoes and SOUP! Soup is one of the best foods in winter because it fills you up, tastes delicious and most importantly, keeps you warm!

To save you time, we’ve gone ahead and picked our top 10 soups for winter, which include five vegetarian and five meat options. They look delicious, taste even better and are perfect for those cold winter nights. I mean, what more could you ask for?
