7 Cozy Winter Soups and Stews for Cold Nights

There is nothing more kitchen witch than a big pot bubbling on the stove on a cold night. These seven soups and stews are made with simple ingredients, plenty of herbs and a lot of comfort. Make a big batch and eat it all week.

Soups

• Roasted pumpkin and sage soup: roast the pumpkin first for deeper flavor, finish with brown butter and sage.
• Garlic and white bean soup: a creamy classic with thyme and a squeeze of lemon.
• Carrot and ginger soup: bright, warming and vegan if you use coconut milk.
• Mushroom and barley soup: earthy, hearty and full of umami.

Stews

• Beef and root vegetable stew: slow-simmer with bay, thyme and a splash of red wine or stock.
• Lentil and tomato stew: a pantry-friendly option with cumin and smoked paprika.
• Chicken and herb stew: carrots, potatoes, rosemary and a spoonful of cream.

Make it magical

Stir clockwise while thinking of warmth and gratitude, add a bay leaf for a wish, and serve with crusty bread and a candle on the table. Save this post for the next cold night.
