Although everyone hates to see the end of summer, one thing that makes it easier on us is the anticipation of all the sweet and savory flavors of fall. And while most people are yammering on about their pumpkin spice everything, they are overlooking one of the best aspects of the season- all the delicious soups and stews.
Baked goods are great and all, but if you want something substantial to eat that warms the belly and soothes the soul, soup is exactly what you’re looking for.
