Homemade Vegetable Soup Recipes For Cold Winter Nights
There's almost nothing more satisfying on a cold winter night than a bowl of warm, homemade vegetable soup. Soups are also great weeknight meal solutions because they are often made in a slow-cooker or are freezer-friendly, so your dinner is already prepared when you walk through the door after a busy day. (That's what we call a weeknight win.) Make a double-batch of soup and stash half of it away in the freezer for future dinnertime emergencies.
Whether you prefer your soup with chicken, ground beef, or just veggies, these hearty recipes will become your new favorites. Our vegetable soup recipes will help you eat all the colors of the rainbow, from our orange Sweet Potato Soup to our green Creamy White Bean-and-Chard Soup and Broccoli-Spinach Soup with Parmesan Croutons. These vegetable soup recipes are healthy, hearty, and ultra-satisfying. Break out the Dutch oven, the slow-cooker, or the Instant Pot—it's time to get stewing.
