1. Tomato Basil Soup
My tomato basil soup is ridiculously easy and unbelievably delicious. I always keep a batch in the freezer for those nights when dinner just isn’t coming together. I call it a soup, but honestly, it’s so much more than that. We use it as a pasta sauce, pizza base, add it to shakshuka and any other excuse where you can add tomato sauce!
2. Dairy-Free Cauliflower Soup
When I cook, I’ve only got two rules: it needs to taste amazing, and it can’t be a hassle. This dairy-free cauliflower soup nails both. You just roast everything in the oven, throw it in a pot, and blitz it with a hand blender. Done! It’s super tasty and even my kids love it!
3. Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
This cheeseburger soup is like all the best parts of a cheeseburger, just in a cozy, spoonable version. It’s rich, creamy, and loaded with ground beef, tender potatoes, and plenty of veggies. Serve it alone, or add some crusty bread, toasted buns, or a side salad.
4. Broccoli Cheddar Noodle Soup
I make this broccoli cheddar soup on repeat- sometimes with noodles, sometimes without, and it’s always a hit. The broccoli, combined with melted cheese, is pure comfort in a bowl. Even my picky kids polish it off! It’s the perfect hearty, warming soup for a chilly night.
5. Hot & Sour Soup
Nothing beats a steaming bowl of hot and sour soup when you’re craving something comforting that’s full of flavor. I love Chinese food, and this sweet and sour soup ticks all of the boxes! It’s packed with mushrooms, tender tofu, bamboo shoots, and delicate swirls of egg. The best part? It comes together in less than 30 minutes!
6. Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup
This creamy chicken tortellini soup is a full meal in a bowl. It’s the perfect comfort food with a little upgrade. Instead of plain noodles, it’s loaded with cheesy ricotta-spinach tortellini, tender chunks of chicken, and a silky, flavorful broth. It’s the perfect meal for curling up with on a cold evening or when you need an easy weeknight dinner.
7. Steak And Potato Soup
Steak and potato soup is the ultimate hearty comfort food. Tender chunks of beef and soft, flavorful potatoes come together in a rich, creamy broth. The best part is that it all comes together in one pot that doesn’t need blending! Easy and delicious, this soup is another winner.
8. Coconut Sweet Potato Lentil Soup
This is another favorite in our house, although more for the adults than the kids! Super easy and simple to make, I’ve made it for a quick lunch and even for dinner parties. Made with sweet potatoes and lentils, it’s not only cozy and delicious, but also healthy. A total crowd-pleaser every time!
9. Creamy Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
This wild rice and mushroom soup is pure comfort in a bowl. Earthy mushrooms and nutty wild rice swim in a creamy, flavorful broth that warms you from the inside out. It’s simple to make, filling enough for dinner, and just as good the next day, perfect for meal prep or a cozy night in. You can easily tweak it with your preferred herbs or spices.
10. Easy Egg Roll Soup
When the weather turns chilly, nothing hits the spot like a warm, satisfying bowl of soup. This one takes comfort food up a notch by turning a takeout favorite into an easy homemade meal. Inspired by the popular “egg roll in a bowl,” it’s full of flavor, budget-friendly, and ready in under an hour. Paleo-friendly and packed with taste, it’s a go-to in our house!

This version is rich and packed with flavor, made with sweet caramelized onions, a savory broth, and topped with toasted bread and melted cheese. It’s surprisingly easy to make, budget-friendly, and tastes even better than what you’d get at a restaurant. Plus, it’s adaptable to fit vegetarian or gluten-free diets.
