When the temperature begins to drop, you can’t go wrong with a warm bowl of soup!
There are many different types of soups available, including classic comfort foods and plenty of hearty one pot meals that are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!
1. Spinach and Lentil Soup with Smoked Tasso
By using smoked tasso (or andouille sausage) in addition to the lentils, this soup creates something that feels like a proper meal instead of just a light lunch.
The smoky style adds a Cajun flair, while the lentils provide lots of protein.
2. Hearty Beef and Vegetable Soup
This soup is perfect if you want something that you can eat as a meal.
The low, slow cooking process allows for the beef to become extremely tender and the vegetables soak up the richness of the broth.
3. Loaded Potato Soup
If you love a loaded baked potato, then this soup will be right up your alley!
The first step to making this dish is to sauté the bacon.
Once the bacon has been rendered, the result is a thick, creamy soup.
4. Chicken Noodle Soup
Sometimes, a classic just has to be made, and Chicken Noodle Soup fits the bill without any extra fuss!
This recipe can be put together in 40 mins, so it’s ideal for a busy weeknight when you may want some comfort but don’t have a lot of time to get it all together.
5. Broccoli Cheddar Soup
If you need pure comfort food to fill your tummy up for dinner, try Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
The key to a good Broccoli Cheddar Soup is creating a great flavor base before adding the cheese.
It’s the difference between having restaurant-quality soup and something that tastes flat.
6. Extra Veggie Cheeseburger Soup
I love how this recipe works extra veggies into a cheeseburger in a bowl.
You get the flavor from the ground beef and cheddar, but it doesn’t feel as guilty with all the finely diced veggies.
7. Cream of Cauliflower Soup (Crème du Barry)
This classic French soup is elegant enough to serve for a weeknight dinner.
The cream and egg yolk liaison make for an incredibly silky soup, and using a whole head of cauliflower means you’ll be getting way more veggies without even thinking about it!
8. Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Roasting cauliflower first adds so much nutty, caramelized flavor; you cannot achieve it by boiling.
This little extra step is well worth it for the depth of flavor it adds, making this soup feel special for entertaining guests but still easy enough for a Tuesday!
9. Creamy Lasagna Soup
All the same flavors you would get when eating lasagna, but ready in a fraction of the time!
This soup includes savory meat, rich tomato base, and creamy cheese, but it’s all thrown together into one pot; no layering is required, and no hours are needed to bake!
10. One-Pot Corn and Potato Chowder
The secret to this great corn and potato chowder is to simmer the corn cobs right in the broth to extract their natural starch and sweetness.
It makes for a wonderful soup that tastes like summer, and the potatoes create a filling meal for dinner.
