4 Cozy Soups for February

The coldest month of the year is here, but don’t worry, we have some cozy soups to keep you warm! Everyone knows that when the temperature drops, soup season is upon us. We’re celebrating Huddle Up February with 4 cozy soups from our friend, @thesaltycooker. These tasty and filling recipes are easy enough for the casual cooker, and can easily be made gluten and dairy-free, if that’s your thing.

After spending some time outside when it’s below freezing, a warm, hearty soup is just what you need. Here’s our selection of Cozy Soups for February.

Looking to warm up with a cozy soup?

1. Broccoli Cheese Ham Soup

This Broccoli Cheese Ham Soup is a Winter winner and pleases kids and adults alike. There’s just something special about cheese and broccoli together, and the addition of Niman Ranch Ham makes this soup oh so good. 

2. Bacon Beef Chili

The best chili is the one you already have all the ingredients for on a cold winter day. If you’ve got Niman Ranch ground beef and our maple smoked bacon on hand, you’re in luck! Some like to spice it up with extra chili powder or hot sauce, but you can’t go wrong with a square of corn bread to go along with your chili. Don’t sleep on the beef/bacon combo either, it is amazing.

3. Corn Ham Chowder

This is the champion of cold weather chowders. It starts with a hearty potato base and just gets better from there. Thick, creamy corn chowder with ham is guaranteed to leave you asking for seconds. When the cold wind blows, chowder is what you need to warm you from the inside out.

4. Loaded Baked Potato Soup

There’s potato soup– and then there’s this: a LOADED baked potato soup with plenty of bacon that will make your baked potato jealous. Dig into this soup when the days are short and the nights are long, and you will not regret it. Chives are optional– bacon is mandatory if you want to do this one right.

There is no denying that a warm soup can make all the difference on a chilly February day. Whether it’s chowder, chili, or good old-fashioned soup, any bowl can get better with the addition of Niman Ranch.
