Must-Try Soup Recipes
While sweets are my speciality here on the blog, I have collected quite a few soup recipes over the years as well. After all, we need something to get us through these chilly Maryland winters, and hot cocoa only goes so far! Today I’m sharing all of my coziest soups in one easy guide. They’re perfect for enjoying around a fall campfire, under a blanket on a snowy day, or in front of the AC in July (I’m looking at you, summer corn chowder!) 😉 While I love all of these soup recipes, I highly recommend you try my chili recipe or creamy potato soup recipe. Both are among my top recipes on the blog and consistently perform at the top of Google results! They use a few sneaky secret ingredients that REALLY amp up the flavor to be the best chili/soup you’ve ever had! And I have thousands of 5-star reviews to back that up!
1. Chili
This recipe has won countless chili cookoffs (seriously, I’ve lost count!). It’s the perfect chili!
2. Potato Soup
Another fan favorite, this potato soup has over 4,000 5-star reviews! It tastes better than anything from a restaurant.
3. Tomato Soup
Reader Elizabeth says, “I LOVE homemade tomato soup and this is by far the best tomato soup recipe! I usually double the recipe and then freeze leftovers in small individual tubs for lunches. As a matter of fact, I am down to my last little tub and will be making more very soon!”
4. Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Classic chicken noodle soup becomes even more comforting with a splash of cream. This is one of our go-to soup recipes during cold and flu season!
5. Butternut Squash Soup
A fall favorite! This recipe can be made vegetarian or even vegan, if needed. It pairs nicely with my brussels sprouts salad and sourdough bread.
6. Chicken and Rice Soup
This recipe takes less than an hour to make and is packed full of comforting ingredients.
7. Maryland Crab Soup
A Maryland staple! This tomato-based crab soup is packed full of flavor, veggies, and crab meat.
8. Cheddar Broccoli Soup
Panera who? You can make this super flavorful and hearty broccoli cheddar soup in just over 30 minutes.
9. French Onion Soup
If French onion soup is your go-to restaurant appetizer, you NEED to try this homemade version! It’s one of my favorite soup recipes.
10. Chicken Pot Pie Soup
This soup tastes just like chicken pot pie, but lightened up so you can eat a whole bowl. Serve it with biscuits for the full pot pie experience!
11. Beef Stew
One reviewer says, “I’ve made a lot of beef stews over the years but none have come close to yours in the depth of flavour and texture of the meat, veggies and sauce.” I think you’ll love it too!
12. White Chicken Chili
An alternative to classic chili, this chicken version has a creamy base that’s perfect for scooping up with tortilla chips! We love serving it with jalapeno cornbread.
13. Potato Leek Soup
This potato leek soup is so simple to prep–only 10 minutes! It’s so flavorful and tastes great any time of year.
14. Lasagna Soup
Lasagna soup transforms classic lasagna into a slurpable soup! This one is always a hit!
15. Chicken Corn Chowder
Chicken corn chowder is perfect for summer but tasty any time of year. Less than an hour to make!
16. Chicken Tortilla Soup
My recipe tastes just like the restaurant version, but better! I even show you how to make your own tortilla strips.
17. Cream of Crab Soup
One of my newest soup recipes, this cream of crab soup is my favorite crab soup. It’s a Maryland staple!
18. Turkey Chili
Turkey chili is perfect for using up leftover Thanksgiving turkey! This recipe is a bit different from my classic chili–try both and see which you prefer.
19. Turkey Chowder
One reviewer says, “This could possibly be the best thing I’ve ever made. It is off the charts!”.
20. Summer Corn Chowder
This summer corn chowder is slightly different from my chicken corn chowder. It’s great for using up fresh summer veggies! Soup is one of my go-to dinner options since it easily packs in plenty of veggies and protein. It’s also usually mostly hands-off, which is a win in my book (especially after testing recipes all day!). I hope you find a favorite (or two!) in this list of soup recipes. As always, if you have a favorite recipe but don’t see it here, please let me know in the comments. I love sharing reader requests! Enjoy!
