Best Soup Recipes

01/16/2023 by Heidi

I turned to our Facebook community because I needed help getting out of a rut. A soup rut. The answers flowed in – 363 comments to be exact – suggesting soups to add to my repertoire. Knowing this list was too good to lose, I created a combined directory to reference. I know you will want to keep this collection as well (Pin it)!

Bean/Lentil Soup

Black Bean Soup 
2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (11 oz) can corn, drained
4 green onions, sliced
1-4 TBSP chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried minced garlic
Combine all ingredients together and cook on low heat 30-45 minutes. Shared by Laurie

Lasagna Soup
“This soup is so amazing that I will no longer go to the work of making lasagna.”
