There's nothing like a bowl of hot, homemade soup on a cold winter's night to warm and comfort you. I like to experiment with foods and I came up with these ideas for homemade soup. They're easy, delicious and filling. Serve them with some crusty rolls, a salad or applesauce and you've got a quick tasty meal. These soups freeze well, and taste better the second time around. It seems like the more you re-heat these soups, the better they taste.

There are probably as many versions of hamburger soup as there are cooks who make them. I modified a recipe and kept tweaking it until I had the recipe below; it is one of the soups that my family asks for often. Since we live in the Lake Erie snow belt, soup is a frequent item on the menu at our house. After battling the elements all day, what a great feeling to come home to the aroma of fresh soup and the warmth of a hot meal. I hope you like these recipes as much as we do!
