15 warming soup recipes for winter

The most loved recipes from the BHG archives. - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd

It's that time of the year to retreat indoors and get cosy with a warming bowl of hearty soup.

WATCH: Roasted carrot and ginger soup with sour cream and pepitas

Stop reaching for a can of soup from the cupboard when you can easily make a large pot to feed the whole family. Not that there will be leftovers, but you can always make a large batch and keep them in containers in a freezer, to defrost on those days when you don't feel like lifting a finger.

Serve with some crusty bread or have a whole bowl on its own, there's nothing better than being cooped up on the couch with some homemade soup.

Whether pumpkin is your favourite, or you prefer a chicken soup to warm the soul, we've compiled our most popular BHG recipes from over the years. Enjoy!
