Apart from some cold soups, I eat most of them in any season and any
kind of weather. Here are some suggestions, in no particular order, all
of them truly and utterly wonderful, and for the most part not at all
hard to prepa

- Gulyás (a spicy Hungarian beef soup)

- Pappa col pomodoro (Tuscan thick bread-and-tomato soup)

- Kimchi guk or jjiggae (a spicy Korean kimchi soup, respectively
lighter and heavier versions)

- Yukgaejang (a spicy Korean beef soup)

- Rassolnik (Russian soup made with either kidney or poultry giblets,
and sour pickles with their juice)

- Mushroom and barley soup, made with dried ceps/porcini and with no
meat

- Borscht

- Kololik (Armenian stuffed-meatball soup)

- Kharcho (Georgian meat soup)
