When serving potato soup, make sure not to skimp on the toppings. It's not as comforting without plenty of cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions on top.

Equal parts soup and beans, this classic Appalachian dish must be served with cornbread on the side and chow-chow on top.

Perhaps one of the most nostalgic fall recipes of all time, the first bite of a bowl of chili will instantly provide comfort to every member of the family. And you'll be dreaming of leaves on the ground outside, even if there's not any just yet.
Vegetable Beef Soup
Homemade vegetable soup is a classic for a reason. Just one bite will take you back to your childhood dinner table.

While sometimes a can of tomato soup is just what you're craving, making tomato soup from scratch is worth the little bit of extra effort when you have the time. Just add a grilled cheese and a nostalgic dinner will be served.

Shrimp-And-Sausage Gumbo

The secret to making sure beef stew is full of flavor is searing the meat before simmering it and adding the rest of the ingredients.
Split Pea Soup With Ham

This soup gets a nice pureed-like texture without any pureeing necessary thanks to the split peas. You'll find the peas at the grocery store in the dried beans section.
Cheddar Soup
Creamy cheese soup is delicious on its own, but to make the experience even more enjoyable, we like serving it in a pretzel bowl or bread bowl.
Chicken Pot Pie Soup

If you thought chicken pot pie couldn't possibly be any more comforting, think again. We call for refrigerated biscuits to top this warm, creamy soup, but feel free to make them from scratch.
Chicken-And-Rice Soup
Chicken and rice have always been a classic duo in soups, and it's easy to see why. They pair perfectly with fresh veggies to create a warm and comforting meal.
