Meal of the Autumn: Europe’s five most iconic and belly-warming soups

All I know is if you aren't including Hungary in your top soups list, you are doing something wrong. I have no affiliation with the country, but every time I've had soup there it's been a great experience.

Isn't goulash originally Hungarian? Yeah it's more a stew than a soup, but still I'm baffled it's not even mentioned.
- Yes but that's only the beginning of their mad soup skillz
A few years ago, my girlfriend and I went to a friend's house for dinner and they served Hungarian mushroom soup.
It was so amazing we had to get the recipe, and now we make it several times a year, doubling or tripling the recipe because we know we're going to want leftovers.

This links has led me to one the sneakiest cookie consent forms I've seen in a long while.

Ha, no crap. For anyone wondering, look for the button at the top of the small popup to disagree with their cookie policy.

Next few days also gonna be though around portugal. We'll suffer together brother. My weather thing is saying right now 36°C for the 2 days of the weekend where I need to be.
Too bad there was no mention of gazpacho.

Sopa de Ajo

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of olive oil

A head of garlic

2 tablespoons of smoked paprika

~~2 eggs~~

1/4 cup of white wine

4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth

Salt to taste

Dried bread or croutons

1 egg per person. You're welcome.

Is the bread a thickener in the soup or a garnish after cooking?
- According to some videos and websites talking about this recipe, the bread is a thickener. You either fry it with the garlic or you put it with the broth after frying.

No no no no no no no nooo don't taunt the seasons I never got to enjoy this summer please stay

More of a stew I guess, but it was a big miss to not include stoofvlees (Flemish Beef Stew). That stuff for me is the perfect fall/winter meal.

Pair that with a nice dark Belgian ale and some thick fries or small roasted potatoes... So good.

That sounds pretty good! As a non- beer drinker, I never have beer to hand for recipes. Maybe I can bum a bottle off of a neighbor.
- When we make it we usually just grab one of those tall cans (around 500ml / 1 pint) of something like Guiness at the grocery store when we're getting the other ingredients. Just anything decently dark works fine.
  Highly recommended though. You can just brown the beef and then throw everything in a crockpot for 8 hours and it's good to go. Such a satisfying fall meal.

Lists five soups, only includes a recipe for one.

Saved. Definitely going to try the Avgolemono soup and Sopa de Ajo, they sound delicious :)

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Every country around the world has their own unique way of making us feel cozy during these chilly days, and the following list comprises some of Europe’s most delicious soups to dig into.

This is by no means an exhaustive list and if your favourite soup didn’t make the cut this time, it still might be featured in a future story... Watch this (cooking) space.

Its bright red colour is hard to miss and now consists of cabbage, beets, potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic.

The star ingredient of this soup is the avgolemono sauce, a creamy combination of hot chicken broth, eggs, and lemon juice.

And now for our top spot... Not the most complex nor the heaviest, this Spanish soup is the perfect combination of easy, filling and savoury that will have you coming back for seconds.

Pour your soup into a bowl and dunk some dried bread or croutons in to absorb all of that garlic goodness, and you are ready for a cozy night in.

Learned something new. But I always think of something like a pumpkin & ginger soup when it's Fall.
