Soup Recipes

The first cold night of the year, the pot comes out. Not a fancy one. The big dented one that has made more chili than I can count and never once let us down.

Every soup, chili and stew on this page is one we make in our own kitchen, most of them on a weeknight with regular grocery store ingredients. A lot of them are one pot. Almost all of them are better the next day, which is the whole point of soup.

Start with the slow cooker award winning chili and the Chili’s chicken enchilada soup. Those two get made the most and asked for the most.

Chili

Seven ways to make a pot of chili. Slow cooker, stovetop, beef, turkey, white chicken, vegetarian, and a Wendy’s copycat that tastes like the drive thru for a fraction of the price.

Chicken Soups

Chicken noodle in thirty minutes with a rotisserie bird, chicken pot pie in a bowl, and the Chili’s enchilada soup that people drive across town for.

Creamy Soups and Chowders

The thick ones. New England clam chowder, two corn chowders, a bacon cheeseburger soup the kids fight over, and a Panera broccoli cheddar that will save you the trip.

Italian Soups

Zuppa Toscana from the Olive Garden menu, lasagna soup, Italian wedding soup from scratch, meatball soup, minestrone and a tortellini soup for the nights you need dinner in twenty minutes.

Stews and Beefy Bowls

Sunday food. Beef stew in the oven with red wine, beef barley, stuffed pepper soup, a venison stew for the hunters in the family, and French onion with the cheese lid.

Takeout Style Soups

Wonton soup two ways, a Thai red curry noodle soup, and a Korean kimchi stew that will clear your sinuses in the best way.

Vegetable Soups

Butternut squash, slow cooker tomato, creamy carrot, green pea, and a vegetarian taco soup that nobody at the table notices is meatless.

More Soup

New soups land on this page first all fall and winter. If you want a bowl for tonight with the least effort, start with the chicken noodle or the tortellini soup.
