Why is it when it's dark, cold, wet, rainy out (usually autumn) people enjoy eating say, french onion soup, or chicken and dumplings or a bowl of chilli?

great question...sometimes I'll recommend making soup or chili and someone will say, "it's not Cold out" or "it's summer so don't make any".
It's the weirdest thing ever. How does the season or temperature outdoors dictate a certain craving for food? To me, chili and soup tastes great whatever the weather is.
I think people associate soup with sickness, colds, and chili with cold weather, etc. It's very odd indeed. I eat anything anytime anyplace anywhere. taht's just me though.

It warms up your body. IT is healthy and not too filling which helps when its dark, cold, wet, and rainy out because you can easily feel more lazy. It is definitely a comfort food as said above.

I know when I eat something warm and tasty on a cold miserable day, I have a nice warm comfortable feeling.

Because it warms you up on a cold, chilly day - also known as comfort food.

It's comforting. My co-worker and i always plan a soup-day for lunch when it's raining or cold.

Keeps you feeling warm inside. I like to eat those anytime of the year though.
