What are some great soup recipes for fall/winter?

What's better than homeade soup simmering and warm fresh bread when it's chilly out? Yum.

I already make these kinds, do you have any more ideas or recipes?

Chicken Noodle (homeade egg noodles)
Chili
Stew
Beef Barley
Potato

I'd especially love to know how to make a great veggie soup, as well as Italian Wedding Soup. Thanks~

Answer 3

I always do a big batch of lentil soup, my way is to boil lentils, carrot, onion and potatoe in chicken stock then liquidize this makes it really thick. Can't remember the quantities so that's usually guess work. ENJOY.
