Welcome to Soup Week! It's a soup-broth-stew sort of week, with gray skies here and the craving for a hot mug of soup cradled in my hands. So we're breaking out the soup pot — to get things going, here are 25 favorite soups from the archives.
There are soups without meat, like one of my all-time favorites: Tuscan Bread and Tomato Stew, and a creamy pumpkin soup without cream. Then there are meaty stews, like chili with pasta and cheddar, a sustainable seafood stew, and baked potato soup with bacon, onion, and cheddar. There's vegetarian pho, slurpy broths full of udon noodles, and creamy sweet potato soup with ginger and miso. There's a knock-out chicken soup with dumplings, and the perfect cream of tomato soup. Read on for these and more, and come cook a pot of soup with us this week.

What a wonderful coincidence, I just came to the site for dinner inspiration and I was already thinking soup! What a great post!
Mmm, thank you. And might I just add an honorable mention:

One of my favorites and go-to recipes from you guys.
We rely heavily on soups and stews as the weather turns colder. How nice to have these to peruse as sitting here in front of the computer, w/a belly full of homemade minestrone w/a spoon of pesto stirred in. We'll look forward to trying this out, & adding them to the repertoire.
Very complete and useful guide. Thanks!
Yay! I love this selection. I just borrowed a soup cookbook from my local library and it was so blah!
I'm still looking for a simple (possibly vegetable) delicious borscht recipe. It's a fall craving.
The recipe links don't seem to be working! ::sad face::
I LOVE U
I tried the Udon Noodle Soup and it is simply fantastic! It was my first time cooking with this type of noodle and it does thicken the broth. I added some shaved carrots, baby bok choy and shitake mushrooms....very quick to make (10 minutes) while healthy and hearty to boot! Yummm!!!
