Nothing is better than a bowl of soup to keep you warm in the colder months. Soup can be made in a variety of ways, so I've gathered 34 super stove, slow cooker, Instant Pot or soup maker recipes.
I love the way our home smells with a pot of hearty soup bubbling on the stove - there are few things more comforting!
What's more, soup can be incredibly versatile, with most recipes being easily adaptable to work on the stove, pressure cooker or slow cooker. Here are some of my favourites.
