Cheeseburger Soup
Creamy White Chili
Years ago, as a time-starved college student, I got this wonderful recipe from my sister-in-law. She had made a big batch and served it to a crowd one night. It was a hit—and easy and quick. In all my years of cooking, I’ve never had another dish get so many compliments. —Laura Brewer, Lafayette, Indiana
Cauliflower Soup
This is the cauliflower soup recipe we reach for on a cold winter day. It only takes 30 minutes to transform a head of cauliflower into a cheesy, creamy, ultra-comforting soup.
Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup
This is my favorite tortellini soup recipe. It’s quick to fix on a busy night and full of healthy, tasty ingredients. It originally called for spicy sausage links, but I’ve found that turkey sausage, or even ground turkey breast, is just as good. —Tracy Fasnacht, Irwin, PennsylvaniaIf Italian is your go-to cuisine, you must try Ina Garten’s wedding soup!
Stuffed Pepper Soup
Stuffed pepper soup is quicker and easier to make than regular stuffed peppers—yet it is just as delicious! If you love the classic comfort food, you'll love this variation.
Ham Chowder
This ham chowder recipe is chock-full of ham, bacon, potatoes and cheese—all ingredients we love on their own, but even more so together. A warm bowl will warm you up from the inside, out!
Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili
My family is crazy about this slow cooker chili because it uses ingredients you don't usually find in chili. Believe it or not, I discovered that pumpkin is what makes the dish so special. Cook up a big batch and freeze some for later; it tastes even better reheated. —Deborah Vliet, Holland, MichiganAlso try Panera autumn squash soup, a variation of the delightful pumpkin soup. And, that’s not all, we have another brilliant option for yummy soups for the fall- Ina Garten’s butternut squash soup.
Potato Soup
This easy homemade potato soup recipe is a staple side for steak dinners at home or an amazing comfort meal on a chilly day.If you’re planning to make a big pot of soup that will feed at least 8 people, try Dolly Parton’s stone soup or even Dolly Parton’s stampede soup, if you can spend a little more time on preparations.
The Ultimate Chicken Noodle Soup
My first Wisconsin winter was so cold, all I wanted to eat was homemade chicken noodle soup. Of all the chicken noodle soup recipes out there, this type of soup is my favorite and is in heavy rotation from November to April. It has many incredibly devoted fans.—Gina Nistico, Denver, ColoradoYou can also try making, Sopa de Fideo—aka Mexican noodle soup for a more flavorful option!
