During the fall and winter I make homemade soup once a week. I’ve got dozens of delicious soup recipes, but the Pizza Soup was the favorite of our sons, Keith and Mark. It’s really easy to make. I apologize for the inexact quantities, but this is another recipe that I’ve never written down…and haven’t made it since last winter! I’ve given the basic recipe, but don’t be afraid to add other items you enjoy on your pizza…including a dash of red pepper sauce!

Very tasty. It's hard to go wrong with potatoes and leeks. They seem a perfect combination especially when it comes up to soup, such as this chunky leek and potato soup. It was very easy to make, and packed with great flavors. If you prefer smooth soup, puree it in a food processor or blender. In whichever way, it's always delicious.

Hearty split pea soup with tender lamb shoulder chunks, built on deeply browned vegetables and chicken broth. A rustic, stick-to-your-ribs bowl that simmers low and slow and tastes even better the next day.

Hearty crockpot vegetable soup with TVP, pinto beans, okra, rice, and tomatoes. Dump everything in, cook for 6 hours, and get a thick, protein-rich soup that tastes anything but meatless.

7 can soup: dump-and-simmer hearty beef chili-style soup made from a pound of ground beef and seven pantry cans. Tomato, chili, corn, and mixed vegetables in 40 minutes flat.

Creamy spinach soup with Swiss cheese, cream cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and a touch of nutmeg. A rich, velvety soup built on a butter-flour roux base.

German bacon potato soup slow-cooks bacon, potatoes, leeks, cabbage, and carrots in beef broth scented with caraway and nutmeg, then thickens with mashed potato and sour cream. Hearty Bavarian comfort.

Smooth and creamy, fresh and clean. Canned tomatoes work equally as well as fresh.
