Try our Creamy Sausage & Cheese Tortellini Soup or Sweet & Sour Beef-Cabbage Soup for the ultimate comfort meal. 01 of 25 Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup with Rotisserie Chicken This creamy chicken noodle soup recipe has a delicious potpie feel to it. We call for rotisserie chicken to streamline your prep time—look for a nice big one with lots of breast meat on it. Pair this comforting soup with a green salad. View Recipe 02 of 25 Sweet & Sour Beef-Cabbage Soup This wholesome sweet-and-sour soup combines beef, caraway seeds, sweet paprika and cabbage--ingredients that star in a number of German dishes.

Double or triple this soup and freeze the leftovers for a quick lunch. View Recipe 06 of 25 Creamy Sausage & Cheese Tortellini Soup Photographer: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn, Prop Stylist: Shell Royster This cheese tortellini soup is a quick meal to throw together on a weeknight, and a crowd-pleaser if you have company. If you like soup with a kick, opt for hot Italian sausage. Tortellini, like any pasta, will soak up the broth as it sits, so if you're making it ahead of time, cook the tortellini separately and add it just before serving. View Recipe 07 of 25 Chicken & Spinach Soup with Fresh Pesto This fragrant, Italian-flavored soup takes advantage of quick-cooking ingredients--boneless, skinless chicken breast, bagged baby spinach and canned beans. It features a simple homemade basil pesto swirled in at the end to add a fresh herb flavor. If you are very pressed for time, you can substitute 3 to 4 tablespoons of a store-bought basil pesto. View Recipe 08 of 25 White Bean-Sausage Soup Make this heart-healthy main-dish white bean and sausage soup with fresh onions. If you're really pressed for time, look for frozen chopped onions, which can be added to soups and stews in seconds. View Recipe 09 of 25 Pork, Mushroom & Cabbage Soup A little dry sherry adds a nice flavor to this comforting cabbage soup. Mushrooms and pork help bulk up the soup for a satisfying meal. View Recipe 10 of 25 Creamy Radish Soup Sonia Bozzo In this creamy radish soup recipe, radishes are sautéed and pureed with potato, creating a velvety, healthy soup. Cooking radishes also tones down any bitterness, while leaving plenty of sweet, earthy flavors to enjoy. Using smaller radishes will give the soup a pretty pink hue, like the one pictured here, while larger radishes result in an almost white soup. View Recipe 11 of 25 White Bean Soup with Pasta Jacob Fox We use mirepoix—a combination of onion, celery and carrots—to flavor this white bean soup. Keep a store-bought bag of the mixture in your freezer to ensure you always have some on hand without worrying about it going bad. View Recipe 12 of 25 Comforting Cabbage Soup with Ginger Photography / Kelsey Hansen, Styling / Greg Luna Cabbage turns tender and flavorful in this comforting soup. The aromatic broth is full of spices, including ginger and turmeric, making it perfect for enjoying on a cold day or keeping you hydrated if you're sick. View Recipe 13 of 25 Healthy Cream of Mushroom Soup This healthy version of the traditional cream of mushroom soup calls for you to puree half of the soup for that rich, creamy mouthfeel and leave the other half as-is for hits of meaty texture. Don't skip the parsley and tarragon as both add a nice pop of color and their flavors play so well with the mushrooms. Be sure to brown the mushrooms well as that'll add even more depth to the soup. View Recipe 14 of 25 Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup with Rotisserie Chicken This creamy chicken noodle soup recipe has a delicious potpie feel to it.

View Recipe 15 of 25 Bean & Beef Taco Soup This taco soup is filled with quintessential taco ingredients and flavors—from two types of hearty beans, to corn and ground beef—but it's the toppings that really make this soup stand out. Better yet, this healthy soup is easy to make and leftovers freeze beautifully for later. View Recipe 16 of 25 Seaweed Soup with Tofu This fragrant, super-savory seaweed soup is made with vitamin-rich wakame seaweed, the same kind often used for soups popular in Japanese and Korean cuisines. View Recipe 17 of 25 Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach Soup Photographer / Brie Passano, Food Stylist / Annie Probst, Prop Stylist / Holly Raibikis Loaded with umami from tomatoes, creaminess (and fiber!) from beans and bright flavor and satisfying mouthfeel from lemon, this vegetarian-friendly soup is compulsively eatable. And it could be on your table in 30 minutes. Plus, it's jam-packed with nutrients from spinach, and we cut the salt by using low-sodium vegetable broth and unsalted cannellini beans. View Recipe 18 of 25 Butternut Soup with Coconut Milk Brian Woodcock; Styling: Cindy Barr Serve this full-flavored soup as a first course or as a smooth vegetable stew over rice with a side of cooked greens. We've used full-fat coconut milk, which yields a decadent, silky soup. You can use light coconut milk, if you prefer, for a soup with less body (and only 1g saturated fat per serving). https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/155658/butternut-soup-coconut-milk/ 19 of 25 Green Chile Chicken Pozole Photographer: Jen Causey; Food Stylist: Ail Ramee; Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen This Mexican-style soup features chicken thighs, hominy and roasted poblano peppers, which add depth of flavor and a little heat. Oregano, coriander and garlic give this simple soup a lovely aroma to whet your appetite. View Recipe 20 of 25 Creamy Chicken, Vegetable & Sun-Dried Tomato Soup Photography / Brie Passano, Styling / Sammy Mila / Holly Raibikis This creamy soup is packed with vegetables, including zucchini and carrots. Precooked chicken saves time and energy, so you can make this cozy soup on a busy weeknight, or any day when it's cold out. View Recipe 21 of 25 Thai Green Curry-Inspired Vegetable Soup Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Margret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christine Keely Green curry paste, fresh herbs and plenty of scallion all pack a bunch of flavor into this vibrant, refreshing soup. The light yet creamy broth is loaded with vegetables, with tofu stirred in at the end to make it filling. A small spoonful of chili crisp adds nice heat and crunch, but if you want to tame the spice, chopped cashews would work well in its place. View Recipe 22 of 25 Golden Summer Squash & Corn Soup Pureed summer squash makes a delicious base for this summery squash and corn soup. Start your meal with the soup or enjoy it as a light lunch. Fresh thyme and briny feta cheese give it fabulous flavor. For a variation, try the soup with any herb you have on hand or goat cheese in place of feta. View Recipe 23 of 25 Low-Carb Vegetable Soup This low-carb vegetable soup is chock-full of veggies swimming in a creamy coconut broth flavored with Thai red curry paste. It's hearty enough to eat on its own, but feel free to add chicken or tofu to boost the protein. View Recipe 24 of 25 Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons Skip the dipping and add crispy grilled cheese croutons right into your soup instead. Don't have a panini press? Make the grilled cheese for the croutons in a skillet or in a waffle maker instead. Opt for San Marzano tomatoes if you can. They have a much richer flavor and they tend to be lower in sodium. View Recipe 25 of 25 Lemon-Dill Soup with Rice & Tofu Avgolemono is a Greek soup widely eaten throughout Greece and the surrounding regions. It's thick, mainly consisting of chicken broth, egg yolks, lemon and rice. Here we use smooth silken tofu in place of yolks and add fresh dill and healthful turmeric.
