When the weather turns cold, I go straight into Soup Recipe Mode. Something about a pot bubbling on the stove just makes everything feel a little calmer, a little cozier, and a lot happier.
These are my all-time favorite soup and stew recipes — the ones that have been loved, shared, and made on repeat in my kitchen (and yours!) for many years. From cozy soups that are creamy and smooth, to hearty stews packed with vegetables and protein, these are the ones I come back to again and again.
So grab your soup pot (or your slow cooker, or your Instant Pot) and your ladle and let’s settle in. ❤️
One of the top-rated soups on the whole site! Comforting, cozy, and so yummy! Rich and creamy tomato broth, cheesy tortellini, fresh spinach, and Italian sausage.
A sweet and creamy savory broth ladled into bowls with noodles, crispy crumbled tofu, and fresh veg! These ramen bowls are SO GOOD.
Silky carrot soup topped with spiced ground beef and toasty pine nuts! Bright, savory, warming, all the best things!
Loads of veggies like carrots and kale, beans, chicken, and a lemon rosemary broth. This soup feels like you’re eating at a fancy bistro!
Petition to add tots to your chili! Chicken, white beans, and green chiles folded up in a creamy soup blanket and topped with golden crispy tots. WOW. Top combo.
So simple and all-homemade, no canned cream-of-anything soups. This is my most ideal perfect comfort food!
We’re making a stop in Noodle Town! This noodle-y wonder is packed with tender short ribs, bright sautéed spinach, sesame seeds, gingery broth, and noodles upon noodles.
Herby Italian sausage, kale, smoky paprika, creamy beans and potatoes, and a splash of cream. This is a must-make for soup season!
Winner, winner, Chicken Tortilla Soup dinner! Tender chicken thighs, creamy pinto beans, garlic and onions, crushed tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, crushed tomatoes, and ALL the toppings.
This is a chili I make every single year, and perfect for a Sunday game day. Creamy, smoky, cozy, and spicy with BIG flavor and simple ingredients. SO GOOD.
A creamy, silky Mexican-inspired soup made with pinto beans, warm chili spices, and whole tomatoes. And you NEED a big pile of the jalapeño corn fritters on top. Drooling over this one!
The BEST Wild Rice Soup – in the Instant Pot! So creamy and simple and ready in an hour. I make this multiple times every fall.
A savory coconut creamy broth, swirls of chili oil floating on top, beautiful veg and cubes of flavor-soaked tofu, and a pile of steamy rice, at your service. Comfort, bright, and warming. So good!
Easy, creamy, and a perfect cozy classic. A silky-smooth soup base, little bites of just-right broccoli and carrots, and some sharp creamy cheddar cheese to finish it off.
Ultra creamy and totally vegan! Packed to the brim with veggies, red lentils, coconut milk, and lots of spices, it’s a total win for the coziest months of the year!
I make this one whenever I have the sniffles. Limey, salty, and so fresh! Garlic-ginger-infused broth, shredded chicken thighs, tender jasmine rice, fresh herbs, and peanuts. YUM.
This is the BEST Sunday Chili! Beef, bacon, tomatoes, chopped veggies, beans, and spices – it’s a cozy weather weekend essential!
Pssst: this tomato soup has BACON! It’s super easy to make and is bound to be your next go-to tomato soup with a side of grilled cheese.
Luscious, silky, and seriously good! Sweet potatoes and red onion get roasted and blended to perfection, and topped with crispy bits of cauliflower.
It’s lush, it’s beautiful, it’s creamy Pumpkin Soup with Walnut Crispies! Made with a whole roasted pumpkin, garlic, cream, speckles of fresh herbs, and topped with the best sweet/savory walnut crispies.
All hail this Creamy Mushroom Soup! Earthy mushrooms, velvety broth, onions and shallots, plus splashes of white wine and cream to finish. This is a good soup moment!
A smoky, limey, tomato-rich broth with onion, garlic, jalapeño, crispy tortilla strips, and tender chunks of sweet potato. If you want to add some protein, you can add some shredded chicken to the mix too!
This chili delivers on big flavors with turkey, black beans, ancho chili powder, tomatoes, and farro. So much yum and cozy and smokiness in a bowl!
Cozy, hearty, and humble. Chicken, thick-cut bacon, navy beans, veggies, and fresh herbs all simmering in one big pot. It’s a good one!
Vegetarian Chili that’s “meaty” and satisfying – without all the meat! A hearty mixture of walnuts, mushrooms, and carrots as your base, with big flavors of onion, garlic, green chiles and spices.
This soup is the perfect ode to fall! Chicken meets orzo in an almost tomato soup form with lots of bread dips, of course. My kids love this one, too!
Another fan favorite from the blog! Comforting and SUPER nutritious. Naturally vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, ALL THE GOOD THINGS.
This Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings is the most comforting, delicious bowl of goodness. Chicken, veggies, pre-made biscuits, seasoning, and all of it made creamy by the humble potato. YUM!
Lasagna, but make it soup! Super easy to make, fun to eat, with all the flavor of your favorite pan of lasagna.
Let’s make it a meal! These are some of my favorite things to pair with a bowl of soup – whether a slice of buttered, crusty bread to swoosh on through, or a salad on the side to bring some crispness to the table. They’re my soup essentials!
I love how forgiving soup can be, and how many different ways it can be made! I’ve made almost all of these soups on the stove, in a slow cooker, or in an Instant Pot. Here are my picks! (Links below are affiliate links and I may receive a commission from your purchase!)
