Quick Summary
30 Soup Recipes– A collection of the very best soup recipes! These soup recipes are tried and true family favorites that you will want to make over and over again.
When it’s cold outside, I get tons of requests for SOUP recipes! I totally get it, because we LOVE soup! Soup is the ultimate cold-weather meal: it’s hearty, comforting, fills you up and warms you up!
Most soups (especially the ones on this list) are really easy to make, too. They’re as easy as a little time at the stove or tossing a couple things in the slow cooker or Instant Pot. You’re also getting vegetables, grains, and protein in your dinner with one dish!
I also love the leftovers after a good soup night. Heat up a bowl of leftover soup, and you’ve got the best lunch ever! Plus, soups freeze beautifully, so save some for the freezer so you always have a meal ready to go!
Tips for Making Soup
Here are a few tips for soup success every time!
- Big Pot! Make sure you use a large soup pot to begin with. I like to use a large Dutch oven.
- Sauté! Always start with sautéing your onion and any veggies that will take a bit longer to cook, like carrots or celery! Don’t add your garlic until after the vegetables are tender or it will burn.
- Broth and Stock! Use a high quality broth or stock because the flavor will make a difference in how your soup turns out.
- Simmer! Let your soups simmer so they can develop rich flavors.
- Add greens last! Finish with leafy greens at the very end, right before serving, since those will cook down quickly.
- Rotisserie Chicken! If your recipe calls for shredded chicken and you are in a hurry, grab a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store! This is an easy way to have tender, yummy chicken with minimal work.
- Freezing Soups! Soups that are broth-based and have rice, beans, and meat freeze really well. Place soups cooled soup in a freezer container and freeze for up to 3 months. Soups that contain starchy vegetables, noodles, and cream don’t freeze as well. You can freeze them, but they won’t be as pretty (the noodles will break down, etc.) but they will still be tasty:)
Serving Suggestions
I love that soup is a one pot meal, loaded with lots of goodies, but if you want to serve something with your bowl of soup. Here are some ideas!
- Easy Green Salad
- Easy Spinach Salad
- Simple Kale Salad
- Easy Quinoa Salad
- Easy Cornbread
