Im searching for some good soups and keeping it clean and healthy. We have so many chilis on here but very little soups and stews...I challenge you all to come up with your best recipe for a healthy winter meal that could make meals easier for dinners. (i.e.: freeze portions and such)

One of my favorite is butternut squash soup. Very easy to make and freezes well. From memory
1-2 butternut squash peeled and cubed de seeded
3-4 carrots peeled and cubed
2-4 potatoes peeled and cubed
2-4 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
1-2 celery stalks chopped
1-2 onions cubed

Add some olive oil to a big pot and add all the vegetables and brown for a few minutes maybe 5min.
I add one mushroom cube.
Add chicken broth/stock till vegetables are covered by a 1/2" to 1" or so. Bring to a boil. Cover reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 45min.
Blend soup till smooth. I use submersible hand blender.
Add some cream or chicken broth if soup is to thick.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

I did this from memory.

Google any minestrone and adapt it to your taste and egg it. Butternut squash soup is good. No recipes handy but others will be here shortly

My new favorite soup if French green lentil soup. I basically follow the instructions on the package of lentils and use chicken broth instead of water. Then I add what ever is in the fridge. Carrots, onions, celery, green beans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes or maybe some chicken. Good eats. ;;)
