When the temperature drops, we look to comforting soups and stews to keep us warm. Nourishing and hearty, these one dish meals are adaptable to whatever ingredients you have on hand, and a belly-filling way to pack in lots of flavor and nutrient-rich vegetables. It’s also easy to make a big batch in your Dutch Oven or Enamel on Steel Stockpot, so you can enjoy a bowl or two now, and also freeze some for whenever you’re feeling a chill.
From classic Mexican pozole to the vegan Spicy Vegetable Soup with Zucchini Noodles pictured above, we have plenty of heartwarming soup and stew recipes no matter what you’re craving. Just add some No Knead Bread to help you stay warm and comforted all winter long.
White Bean, Sausage and Kale Soup
Hearty and protein-rich, this soup uses the quick soak method to speed up the white bean cooking time. Using dried beans will give you more flavor in the soup, but if you’re pressed for time canned white or cannellini beans would work just as well. Also feel free to use whatever hearty greens you have in the fridge instead of the kale.

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup
With two different types of sunny lemon flavor, this Greek inspired soup will bring warmth to any cold winter day. Using a rotisserie chicken from the store means this soup comes together in a flash, and the fresh herb and yogurt garnish brightens your bowl and adds a silky texture to the finished soup.

Tuscan White Bean Stew
Inspired by thrifty Tuscan ribollita, this recipe uses stale bread and canned beans as a thickener to create a belly-warming stew. The recipe comes to us from our friends at Bou and their all-natural vegetable bouillon cubes add a burst of flavor to the recipe. But you can also use vegetable broth or stock in place of the bouillon cubes.

Chicken Pozole Rojo
This red pozole recipe is a classic that will transport you straight to the balmy climate of Mexico. White hominy is the signature ingredient in pozole and corn tortillas are used as a thickener. But half of the fun of making pozole is allowing your family to garnish their own steaming bowls with toppings like radishes, avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips and a squeeze of fresh lime.
