National Homemade Soup Day

When the cold winter winds are blowing and snow is rapidly falling, nothing takes the chill away like a bowl of homemade soup! It might seem that making a pot of simmering heaven would require a person to be highly skilled in the kitchen and have a great deal of extra time. But this couldn’t be farther from the truth!

If making homemade soup has always seemed like an intimidating task, just know that it doesn’t have to be. Plus, it’s a great way to feed a large group of people without a lot of fuss. With some clever short cuts and easy, beginner-friendly recipes (happily found all over the internet), it’s entirely feasible to impress family and friends alike with a wonderful creation to celebrate National Homemade Soup Day!

History of National Homemade Soup Day

Soup has been warming the stomachs of the masses for nearly 9000 years, so it’s about time there was a day devoted to it!

One of the smartest choices of the creators of National Homemade Soup Day is that they put it right smack-dab in the middle of winter (at least for people in many places). Since February can be one of the coldest and darkest months of the year, it’s the perfect time to try a hand at creating the perfect homemade soup.

But for people who live in a place where the day doesn’t fall in winter–don’t despair! Homemade cold soups are a tasty option for those celebrating in a warmer climate. Whether with a Gazpacho (cold tomato soup) or cucumber soup, this day can be enjoyed–cold or hot–in any part of the world!

How to Celebrate National Homemade Soup Day

While this day does not discriminate between flavors of soup, it does offer an occasion to celebrate. So it’s time to do more than just open that can of boring, bland, soup! This is a day that is all about celebrating a fresh, healthy pot of homemade soup!

Consider a few different ways to make National Homemade Soup Day a little more special:

Try a New Recipe

Celebrating soup sounds simple – just pour a bowl and start eating, right? Well, that is part of it but not all of it. If you are new to creating culinary masterpieces you can use this day as a motivation to try something different. Make some chicken soup, or tomato, or maybe something more adventurous. That is what today is all about, so experiment and try something new.

Invite Friends and Family to Join In

Already a kitchen wizard? Use this special day to gather up some friends and have a tasting of several different homemade soups.

Or have each person bring one ingredient that can be added into the pot! While waiting for the soup to simmer, read out loud a version of the favorite children’s book, Stone Soup.

Better yet have a cook off! Each friend shows up with their own homemade masterpiece and have a lively night of fun to see whose soup is crowned the winner. The great news is that, really, everyone wins because they get to enjoy all of the deliciousness and comfort that homemade soup has to offer.

Recreate a Copycat Recipe

Sometimes a favorite dish at a restaurant turns out even better when making it at home! Many recipes for famous soups from restaurant chains are now available online to be recreated in a person’s own.

Try making these yummy copycat soup recipes that can be easily found online:

Zuppa Toscana by Olive Garden. Famous for its pairing with soft breadsticks, this twist on an Italian favorite is packed with yummy goodness. A chicken stock base with sausage, kale, and red pepper flakes provide a zesty array of flavors.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup by O’Charley’s. Packed with flavor (and also quite a few carbs!) this soup is sure to please with its cheesy potato base and bacon garnish. Like most soups, this one is tasty when served with buttery bread rolls.

Cullen Skink from Ubiquitous Chip. This soup is named after Cullen, a small fishing town in the northeast of Scotland. One of Glasgow’s favorite restaurants, Ubiquitous Chip, features this comforting treat made from smoked haddock, potato, onion, and spices.

Read a Chicken Soup for the Soul Book

Since homemade soup takes a little bit of time to simmer on the stove, it’s great to have something to do while waiting. So what could be better than reading some short stories from the famous Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies?!

The books were compiled by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, but the stories themselves were written by people all over the world. Some authors are famous while others are simply average people with extraordinary or entertaining stories to share that bring comfort to the soul.

National Homemade Soup Day The earliest archaeological evidence for the consumption of soup dates back to 6000 BC, and it was hippopotamus soup. Traditionally, soups are classified into two main groups: clear soups and thick soups. The established French classifications of clear soups are bouillon and consommé. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: purées are vegetable soups thickened with starch. Soup isn’t always served hot. In warmer climates like Spain, cold soup alternatives, like tomato-based gazpacho, are popular. Americans eat more than 10 billion bowls of soup each year. Women are twice as likely to order soup for lunch as men. 🍜 #NationalHomemadeSoupDay #Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQ1OO6NZR2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

February 4th is #nationalhomemadesoupday 🍲 In the Urbnspice kitchen, every day is soup day. I am often asked “as a chef, what is your favourite thing to make?” My answer is always the same - homemade soup and fresh biscuits. If you search the @urbnspice blog, you will find many homemade soup recipes, some hearty, others broth-y, some fancy enough for entertaining, and all simplistic in preparation and full of flavour. Try one or try them all - enjoy the art of soup making. There is a reason why it is often called #huginabowl #comfortfood #soup #soups #homemadesoup #soupseason #souprecipe #soupfordays #soupweather #souprecipes (at Kelowna, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2vNXDh00U/?igshid=16mkzw5tmho75

Celebrate Homemade Soup Day with my Fiesta Chicken Chile Soup from the 2017 World Food Championships (recipe is on my blog)! Great to warm up on a cold winter's day! 😋🐓🌶🍲

Der Tag ist zwar fast schon wieder vorbei, aber wusstet ihr, dass heute der Tag der hausgemachten Suppe ist? Zwar in den USA und da als National Homemade Soup Day bekannt, aber so ein heißes Süppchen ist doch auch hierzulande etwas feines 😋🤩 Vor allem, so lange die Temperaturen noch nicht schweißtreibend sind, hat man mit hausgemachten Suppen so ein richtig leckeres Abendessen. Dazu noch ein selbstgebackenes Brot - was will man mehr!? Ein wandelbares Kartoffelsuppenrezept gibt's auf dem Blog, den Link in der Bio ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Übrigens habe ich meine Portion noch mit eine Art Rorschach Test aus steirischem Kürbiskernöl dekoriert und geschmacklich mit einer Spezialgewürzmischung aufgemotzt. Woraus die besteht, ist ebenfalls im Blogpost verlinkt. Gab's bei euch zufällig auch eine Suppe? Welche ist eure Lieblingssuppe? 🤔🍜🤩 #suppenliebe #tagderhausgemachtensuppe #nationalhomemadesoupday #kochenistliebe #frugalmeals #hotsoup #heißesuppe https://www.instagram.com/p/BteUCwfH7Hz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hzd0zhg7t6i9
