Spring is a little way off yet and there are still plenty of chilly days ahead. A bowl of soup is a great way to warm up on the inside and ward off the cold outside. Check out the suggestions below, which were taken from Recipes Remembered, a collection of readers’ recipes shared weekly in Our Town and the Star Journal over three decades.

We’re starting a new version of that tradition and will be posting readers’ recipes on starjournalnow.com. If you have a favorite recipe you’d like to submit for possible inclusion, simply email it to starjournal@jrn.com. We’ll post new recipes each week, so check back often.

Black Bean Soup
1 lb. dried black beans
2 bay leaves
1 whole onion
1 whole carrot
1 whole rib of celery
2 garlic cloves
Sort and rinse black beans. Combine with remaining ingredients in 5-quart Dutch oven. Add water to cover. Boil and simmer until beans are tender. Take out whole vegetables and discard.
1 lb. kielbasa, andouille or chorizo sausage, chopped (opt.)
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
Add vegetables and sausage to beans and water in Dutch oven. Cook until vegetables are tender about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
