Soup season is officially here! Check out this list of 13 cozy and comforting soup recipes that are not only quick and easy to make, but also delicious and creative. This list includes classic soup recipes like my recipe for The Best French Onion Soup or my Better Than Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup. But also consider this your sign to try out a new soup you haven't had before such as my Creamy Tuscan Chicken Orzo Soup or my viral Chicken Tikka Masala Soup!

A few tips for making soup before we dive into the list:

I highly recommend investing in a high-quality heavy-bottomed pot such as this Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven. This pot retains heat, is easy to clean, durable, versatile for infinite other recipes, and is BEAUTIFUL to look at.
I'm not someone that typically makes their own stock, but using high-quality store-bought broth/stock is a game changer. Obviously you can make your own if you prefer, and that would be best! For store-bought, I can't recommend Better Than Bouillon enough. It's a concentrated paste that comes in a jar. You just add some of the paste to water to create your broth. I always keep a jar in the fridge. It has great flavor, saves space in your pantry compared to boxes/cans of broth, and a jar lasts a really long time. You can also add as much or as little paste as you want to control the sodium levels and flavor of your soup.
Soups often taste even better the next day! Don't be nervous to make more soup then you will finish in one meal. Store your soup in an air-tight container and heat over the stove (or the microwave) the next few days for quick, easy, and delicious leftovers.
