30 Healthy Soup Recipes

These 30 Easy Healthy Soup Recipes are loaded with fresh veggies, pasta and beans. Not only are these recipes are very healthy, but they are also delicious, comforting, hearty, and very satisfying. I’m sure you will love this soup dinner ideas.

Fall is in full swing which means it’s time for cozy weathers, hot drinks by a fireplace, and my favourite thing, soup! There’s nothing more comforting than a big bowl of warm healthy soup and today I’ve got 30 of my favourite to share with you!

Easy healthy soup recipes are one of those super easy things to make that it’s almost impossible to mess up. You put all your ingredients into a pot and let it simmer until your entire house smells absolutely heavenly. The soup dinner ideas that I’ve picked are loaded with fresh veggies, pasta and beans.

What to Cook Soup In

I recommend getting a quality heavy bottomed pot to make a big batch of these soup dinner ideas. As soup tends to simmer for a while, you want a pot that your ingredients won’t easily stick to the bottom and burn in as well as being able to handle being on top of a heat source for a long period of time. For sizing, I would recommend something between 6 and 10 qt. I find that the 6qt size to be perfect for most recipes but it’s up to what you prefer and how big your family is.

You can also cook your soups in slow cookers and the Instant Pot. I love using the slow cooker and IP as it frees up the stove top for making the rest of dinner.

What to Serve with Soup

Soup works as both a starter, a side dish, or as a main meal depending on how big of a bowl you’re serving up! Here are some of my favourite dishes to go alongside soups, no matter how big of a bowl of soup you’ve got: Arugula Blackberry Salad, Autumn Beet Orange Salad Recipe, Warm Quinoa Brussels Sprouts Salad, Clementine Arugula Salad Recipe, Cranberry Apple Quinoa Salad.

How to Store Leftover for These Dinner Soup Recipes

If you have leftover soup or plan on making the soups as a meal prep for lunch, make sure they’ve cooled completely before storing in the fridge. When portioning it out into meal prep containers, keep in mind that you should leave some space up top as it helps keeps spills at bay when reheating it at work or school.

Can You Freeze Soups?

Usually yes. Just double check the ingredients before freezing. For example if you want to freeze soups with pasta in it, I recommend you don’t add the pasta to the soup before freezing as pasta doesn’t thaw well. Just split the soup in half and enjoy half with the pasta in it, and freeze the other half without pasta.

Also, avoid freezing soup with potato in it as it can come out grainy. As for other vegetables, if you know you would like to freeze a portion of your soup, stop cooking a little early and set aside your freezer portion. If you are reheating frozen soup on the stove later, you’ll be overcooking the vegetables, so by stopping the cooking process a little bit earlier, your vegetables will be perfectly cooked when reheated!
