Soups are best relished during the winter season. As the winter season is around the corner, it's time to get that broth brimming and prepare luscious warm cups of soups that will comfort your body from the winter chill. 

Here are some of the best soups to prepare at home this season and warm up with your loved ones.

1. Tomato and jasmine tea soup

The goodness of jasmine tea combines with the tanginess of fresh tomato puree, this is a perfect winter soup to relish at home. A bit of pepper and thyme along with the topping of truffle oil bring alive the soup.

2. Mulligatawny soup

An Anglo-Indian dish, Mulligatawny is a Tamil word that translates to pepper-broth. This delicious soup is a hybrid of soup and rasam and is prepared with a whole lot of pepper. It is usually based on chicken stock but can also have a vegetable stock along with coconut milk, cinnamon, tamarind and a host of spices. 

3. Almond and mushroom soup

With subtle flavours of finely chopped mushrooms, almonds, pepper, butter, cream and milk, this luscious soup is all you need to have a comfortable chilly winter evening with your loved ones. 

4. Beetroot soup

Nothing beats the seasonal vegetable! Beetroot is a winter must, packed with multiple nutrients. And when combined with bottle gourd and a whole lot of spices, there is nothing that can come close. With a hint of salt and pepper, beetroot soup can be served both cold or hot. 

5. Carrot ginger soup

Another winter special, carrot is packed with health benefits that we must reap all through the season - and one of the best ways of doing that is by having a warm bowl of soup. It comes with the added benefits of ginger that is known to be one of the best remedies for cold, which is common during the season.
