When the weather gets colder, it can only mean one thing: its soup season. We love our creamy tomato bisques and chunky, bacon-laden potato soupstheres even a place for a brothy veggie soup in our lineupbut theres one soup that always comes out on top when were talking about nostalgia.

This soup is easy to put togetherwhich is probably why it was on heavy rotation during our childhoodsand it makes a great option for weeknight dinners. Its also great for leftovers.
