Heading into the weekend the weather doesn't look good.  Right now, there are more storms and rain on Friday.  Now Saturday, look out.  Sunshine and a high of only 50.  That's cold.  What goes great with cold weather?  Soup!  When it comes to soups for cold days, we have so many options.

So for me, Saturday looks like a crock-pot cooking slow, a fire built, and a day in front of the TV watching football!  But what will be in the crock pot?  I don't know yet but I'm about to give you some really good options to pick from.  For me, it may end up being a big crock pot full of pinto beans and cornbread.

According to the website Insanely Good  these are some of the most popular soups in America

  • 15 Bean Soup
  • Gumbo
  • Chicken Tortilla Soup
  • Beef Stew
  • Clam Chowder
  • Tomato Soup
  • Cream Of Mushroom

Then you have the question of, "Are pinto beans soup?  Are Black-Eyed peas soup?  Are Chicken and Dumplings soup?"  To me, the answer is "Yes."

You Can Also Get Soup From Restaurants

We have some great places to get soup here in the CSRA as well. Try a few of these.

  • French Market Grill West- Gumbo or the Jambalaya
  • Wife Saver-The Chicken And Dumplings
  • The Boll Weevil Café and Sweetery-The Corn Chowder
  • The Feed Sack -The Tomato Bisque
  • The Village Deli-The French Onion Soup

It doesn't matter if you want to get a can of soup or spend the day slow cooking a homemade soup for a cold winter day, it doesn't change anything. It's what works for you.  Make ya some homemade cornbread or biscuits and enjoy a day inside warm and dry.  Here are some soups for cold days to hit the spot to warm ya up.

Chicken Soup

So many soups really do hit the spot on rainy and cold days but is there anything like a good bowl of chicken soup?  One of the best.

Potato Soup

This a very easy one to make and to me when you add more cheese, the better this soup gets.  It's also better the next day.

Crockpot Tortellini Soup

I love Italian food and this one is super good! It gives you the feel of a great pasta and soup combination mixed together.

Cheeseburger Soup

This is a new one for me.  I've only had cheeseburger soup one time.  This one looks easy to make and makes a lot of soup

Vegetable Beef Soup

It doesn't get any more southern that a crock pot full of vegetable beef soup.  This classic is so good in the winter, but how can you go wrong having this in the middle of July?

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I personally am not a big fan of Broccoli, but I will eat Broccoli Cheddar Soup.  Call me crazy, but I love this.

Chili

You can find a million different recipes for chili, but it's the one soup that you can make a hundred different ways and not go wrong.

Pinto Beans

May catch some heat on Pinto Beans not being a soup, but Ok.  It may not be, but it's great for a cold rainy day.  Heck, Pinto Beans are good for a dry warm day.
