I don't know what's happening with the weather where you live, but here we seem to have skipped right over fall and headed straight into winter. Being a Georgia girl born and raised, cold weather is not my favorite, so I'm always looking for ways to warm up.

When it comes to food, that means soup! Potato soup is one of those things you'd have to be crazy not to like. Our version is easy, too, and you can make your bowl as "loaded" as you like it!

Equally easy and perfect for cool weather is Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Soup. It's a favorite around fall holidays.
