Five Winter Warm-Ups

The fall season is now upon us here in Western New York and soon it will be winter and the snow will be flying. Oh! I'm so not ready for the cold weather.

Not to worry, though, I've combined five of my favorites from previous posts all into one post, to help you through the cold weather.

Hearty Chicken Tortellini Soup

This is a family favorite and is made with meatballs. Serve with some fresh Italian bread and this soup is a meal all by itself.

Italian Wedding Soup

Another family favorite passed down from my grandmother. We have this soup as a starter for almost all of our Holiday meals.

French Onion Soup

Impress your friends and family with this easy to make classic French Onion Soup. Another great starter for any meal.

Italian Peasant Soup

This one is the perfect warm me up on a cold winter day and another soup you can make a meal out of. 

Beef and Sausage Chili

This award winning chili is not your average chili. My daughter makes this the best, I don't know where she got the recipe but you're going to love it. This chili is also a gameday favorite for us.

I sure hope these five winter warm ups help you through the winter season. I'll for sure be making ever single one of these this year.
