Autumn is cold season: Warming soup ideas for coughs and colds
When the days get shorter and a cold wind blows outside, there's nothing better than a hot soup to warm you up. Especially when the first cold strikes, a hearty, homemade soup works wonders. With the right meat base , a cold soup becomes a real powerhouse! Here are three easy-to-make autumn soup ideas that will get you back on your feet in no time.
1. Classic beef soup with root vegetables
Nothing warms you from the inside out better than a hearty beef soup with root vegetables. The base for this soup is a flavorful beef broth, ideally made with leg of lamb . These contain a lot of collagen and create a rich, gelling soup. Briefly fry the leg of lamb, add soup vegetables like carrots, celery, and leeks, and let everything simmer gently for at least two hours. For a special flavor, you can add some spicy lung sausages at the end to give the soup that special something.
Tip: Add a handful of freshly chopped parsley and a pinch of sea salt toward the end of cooking for a more rounded flavor. Served with some pasta or a slice of baguette, this soup will quickly become a favorite on cold autumn days.
2. Hearty oxtail soup for energy and strength
A hearty oxtail soup is the perfect choice when you need something truly fortifying. The long cooking time of the oxtail produces a rich, aromatic broth that's especially warming and invigorating on cold, gray days. Lightly roast the oxtail in the oven to intensify its flavor. Then add it to the pot with soup vegetables, an onion, and spices like bay leaves and peppercorns and let it simmer gently for at least three hours. The result: a wonderfully flavorful soup with tender meat that practically falls off the bone.
This oxtail soup tastes best with a garnish of finely chopped sausages and seasonal vegetables like parsnips, kohlrabi, or pumpkin. A true autumn treat that warms not only the body but also the soul!
3. Hearty lung sausage stew
When it's stormy and raining outside, a hearty stew is just the thing to thaw out. The lung sausage is the special highlight here: it adds a spicy, robust flavor to the stew. Cut the lung sausage into bite-sized pieces along with a few pieces of roast beef and fry everything until browned. Then add a colorful mix of root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and leeks. Simmer everything in a rich broth made from the leg pieces until the vegetables are soft and the meat is tender.
This soup is not only filling but also keeps you warm for a long time. Finish it with a touch of nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon juice to round out the flavor and add a pleasant freshness.
