Fall is in full swing, which means it’s time for cozy weather, hot drinks by a fireplace, and my favorite thing, soup! There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of warm, hearty soup, and today I’ve got 30 of my favorites to share with you!
Easy soup recipes are one of those super-easy things to make that are almost impossible to mess up. You put all your ingredients into a pot and let them simmer until your entire house smells absolutely heavenly. The soup dinner ideas that I’ve picked are loaded with fresh veggies, pasta, and beans.
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 keep spills at bay when reheating it at work or school.
Yes, but check the ingredients first. Avoid freezing soups with pasta or potatoes, as they don’t thaw well and can turn grainy or mushy. If freezing, slightly undercook vegetables to prevent overcooking when reheating.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup white or yellow onions diced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 2 cups carrot diced
- 3 garlic clove minced
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups sweet potato diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 lb free range organic boneless chicken breasts
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnishing
- pinch of cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- In a medium pan, add the chicken breasts, cover with about 2 inches of water, salt the water to taste and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Boil for about 15 mins or until chicken is cooked through.
- While chicken in poaching, start sautéing the veggies. In a large pot, heat olive oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, turn the heat down to medium.
- Add onion, celery and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add chicken broth, sweet potato, oregano, onion powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix all together.
- Bring to a boil and simmer partially covered for 10-15 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft.
- Halfway through boiling the sweet potatoes, add in the shedded chicken to rewarm a bit. Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. If you prefer, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a short cut, you can use pre-cooked shredded rotisserie chicken in place of the chicken breasts.
- Dice everything uniformly to ensure even cooking and that you’ll get a bite of everything with each spoonful.
- Do not overcook the chicken or it’ll become rubbery.
- To store: Put leftover soup into an airtight glass container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Rewarm soup in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- To freeze: Freeze cooked soup in a freezer-safe bag or container once cooled. Freeze for up to 3 months.
