Whether you're battling the cold weather or the common cold or worse, the flu, one of the best homemade comforts is a steaming bowl of chicken soup. Naturally this being Canadian Living we've got comforting soup recipes galore here, but I particularly really like the hearty, healthy and healing combo of this Souper Chicken Noodle soup.  Bonus: it's a slow-cooker recipe, so it's great to make early on in the day and have a batch ready for dinner. We've also got these 9 yummy soups and stews for cold weather. Do you often make soups or stews at your home? I don't, but this snap of cold weather in our parts has me convinced to make a few batches this weekend. Photo: Ryan Szulc
