When the temperature dips, many of us gravitate towards cozy clothes and warm meals. After all, what's more comforting than a steaming bowl of soup when your bones are chilled and your nose is cold?

But while it's definitely super simple to crack open a can of old-school chicken noodle, unfortunately, nutritionists and registered dietitians like myself have learned that there is potential risk associated with eating too many cans of soups if they are lined with BPA. BPA, or bisphenol A, has been used inside linings of cans to prevent metal corrosion and breakage. And where it's done wonders in terms of food preservation, human exposure to BPA has been linked to some unsavory side-effects, including fertility challenges, certain cancers, polycystic ovary syndrome, and more.

To reduce exposure to BPA, you could take a stab at making homemade soup, but if you're short on time like this busy working mom, perhaps store-bought is a more realistic option. Here are nine of our favorite restaurant-quality soups that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your home.

1. Daily Harvest Mushroom and Miso Soup
