It’s finally soup season! I’ll be making soup every week (okay, more like multiple times a week) for the foreseeable future. Join me!

Over the past two decades, I’ve learned that what we put in our bodies matters way more than what we put on our bodies. It’s why I’m obsessed with creating soups that aren’t just comforting, but packed with all the nourishing, delicious ingredients that leave you feeling full and satisfied. After all, food should be something you look forward to—and soup can absolutely be a meal that checks all those boxes.

Today, we’re diving into my ultimate guide to soup-making. I'm sharing some of my favorite recipes plus tips and tricks for making soups that are cozy, nutritious, and filling.

How to Make Soup

There’s no wrong way to make soup—creamy, cheesy, brothy, spicy, or slurpy—it’s all good! But if you’re looking for that perfect balance of cozy broth, tons of veggies, and big, bold flavor, you’ve got to try my go-to slurpy soup (recipe below). It's super customizable, so you can swap in your favorite ingredients and flavors to make it your own.
