1. Pasta Soup with Chicken and Vegetables
A filling and comforting soup, perfect for those evenings when you want to eat something nourishing, easy and family-friendly.
2. French Onion Soup
A great French classic that’s always a hit: melting, caramelized onions cooked in a good beef or chicken broth and then baked with cheese in the oven.
3. Finnish Salmon Soup (Lohikeitto)
A soft, creamy Nordic soup with melting salmon, potatoes and dill. Ultra comforting. It’s always a sensation on social media, whenever I post it!
4. Creamy Vegetable Tortellini Soup
A quick and tasty soup in which tortellini replaces classic pasta for a conforting and quick meal.
5. Vegetarian Lentil Stew
Somewhere between a soup and a stew, this soup is rich in vegetable proteins and full of flavor, perfect for keeping warm and full!
6. Creamy Celeriac Soup (with crispy bacon)
A creamy celeriac-based soup: I really like its delicate taste and it’s an ideal change from the usual vegetable soups. I like to serve it with crispy bacon to spice things up.
7. Oven-Roasted Butternut Cream Soup
A soup with a more intense taste thanks to butternut squash, which I roast in the oven before blending with vegetable stock. And for a little crunch, I add homemade savory granola on top!
8. White Bean Soup with Tomato
A simple Mediterranean soup, rich in fiber and protein, perfect for a complete meal, ready in less than 30 minutes.
9. Tuna and Tomato Soup
A surprisingly tasty minute soup, inspired by Italian recipes – simple, quick and budget-friendly as I use canned tuna. If you’ve never tried it in a soup before, you’ll love it!
10. White Bean and Parmesan Soup
A smooth, creamy soup flavored with Parmesan, perfect for a more elegant, comforting version of the white bean soup.
