‘Tis the season for all things cozy and warm and I’m here. for. it.
Yes, I really love summer and warmer weather, but I really thrive when I cook with delicious winter flavors.
I’ve collected over 20 of the best healthy soup recipes to do all winter long. You’ll find everything from the best vegetable soup to my mom’s famous beef stew. I’ve divided these healthy soup recipes into tomato soups, remade chicken soups, hearty stews, lightened-up classics, golden soups, my favorite winter squash soups, and of course, amazing chili recipes.
Tips for making the best soup recipes
- Season to taste. Although these soups, of course, have all the spices measured out, be sure to add salt and pepper (or spicy flavors) to your taste. Everyone’s salt preferences are a little different, so it’s up to you! I also recommend using low sodium chicken stock so you can control the salt in the recipe.
- Freeze for later. The soup makes an amazing freezer-friendly meal, so we recommend making a big batch! You should find freezing instructions in each recipe, but you’ll let your soup cool completely, place in freezer-safe containers or bags, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. I recommend adding noodles when reheating!
- Customize your soup. One of the best parts about cooking soup is how easy it is to customize. Feel free to mix up some of these recipes using different vegetables and proteins. They are usually very easy to make vegan or vegetarian!
