5 Winter Soups to Warm Up Your Kitchen
Every great cook has a few soup recipes in their back pocket, and that includes the folks in the Lodge kitchen. We rounded up some of our best new winter soup recipes, plus a few of our old favorites, all designed to warm up your kitchen and your cast-iron cooking game.
1. Brisket Chili
We swapped ground beef for dry-rubbed brisket in this chili recipe, plus a spice blend that packs a punch, savory bacon, and a rich brown ale. The result is chili at its finest: filling and full-bodied, with a good deal of heat.
2. Chicken Tortilla Soup
Somewhere between a chicken soup and a chicken chili is this delicious, complex chicken tortilla soup. Full of big, bold flavors like lime, cumin, and cilantro, this soup is thickened with tortillas for restaurant-quality results.
3. Creamy Mushroom Soup
Mushrooms. Cream. Sherry. Sounds like a combination made for a comforting winter meal. Layered with garlic, onions, and shallots, this creamy soup doesn’t skimp on flavor. Serve it with crusty bread for a simple yet savory meal.
4. Chickpea Soup With Turmeric and Ginger
This high-protein, vegan soup combines immune-boosting turmeric and ginger with chickpeas and coconut milk for a creamy but flavorful meal. Serve it on its own or over rice for a filling feast— and don’t forget the crispy chickpea topping.
5. Tom Kha Gai Soup
This Thai coconut soup features tender chicken, earth mushrooms, and big, bold curry for a spicy, warming meal. We like to top ours with a few wedges of lime and a tangle of cilantro for a fresh bite of sunshine in the middle of winter.
