When the crisp fall weather arrives, it's time to put those warm soup recipes back on your weeknight supper menu. If you didn't start your morning by prepping the slow cooker with all the fixings for a delicious soup and don't happen to have soup stock in the freezer, don't worry. There's still plenty of time to make a comforting and warm soup for a weeknight dinner. These recipes all clock in at 45 minutes or less from beginning to end.
