It has taken me a very long time to overcome my dislike for broth-based soups. As a chubby girl growing up in the Midwest, they always seemed like a cruel trick that my parents would play on me. Their thinness always seemed to signal a lack of food. Being older now and understanding the simplicity and beauty of a broth-based soup, however, I'm quite looking forward to cooking some up and snuggling down for the evening. Here are 20 recipes that are sure to become household favorites.

The two 101cookbook recipes are wonderful (the carrot and fennel soup is also available in the recent NY Times Cookbook). Both have become regular features in my life.
ONION SOUP WITH APPLE CIDER?! Sarah Rae Trover, you are a hero for pointing me toward this one, it sounds like everything I love!
All I've wanted to eat lately has been clear soups, well timed article!
The broth is key. It's gotta be good. Then there is nothing like a brothy soup.
I've got a 1970s soup cookbook that introduced me to the joys of panade - a.k.a golden chicken broth with bread soaking in it. I haven't made it with saffron like the recipe calls for (I'm poor, people) and I haven't made any chicken soup without meat and veg in it, but I've got bags of chicken bones and skin in my freezer reading for souping. Made chicken and veg soup this weekend with bones and skin and the leftovers turned into aspic in the fridge. Thinned with a little water and reheated, it was fantastic!
