This soup is surprisingly good for how little effort is needed to make it. Also I served it with a cutting board full of topping options which makes the soup fun too.

Recipe: Matsutake Soup
This is such a simple soup but it has wonderful flavor and the yuzu and dashi really bring out the best of the mushroom. I added some chili flakes also for a nice spice, this is basically the perfect fall soup. Mild, comforting, warm with just a little zing.

Recipe: Roasted Tomato Soup
This is your very super basic tomato soup. It’s earthy and comforting and warm. I’m always skeptical of vegan dishes but despite not having any dairy (yes, no butter or cream!) the texture of the soup is creamy and thick. I accidentally had a bit of a heavy hand on the red pepper flakes but when enjoyed with a crusty piece of bread the extra spice was just right.

Adapted from Get Off Your Tush and CookRecipe: Miso Udon Soup
This is the perfect after work food. It’s fast, one pot, cheap with little prep and practically no mess. Using fresh udon (found in the refrigerator section in most international supermarkets) it becomes a completely no fuss meal but you can substitute fresh noodles for dried one in a pinch though carefully follow directions on the dry noodles before adding them to the soup. You can add just about any vegetable to this and any mix of miso you like. I prefer red for a hearty soup with a bold flavor though shiro miso make a milder soup that many enjoy.

Adapted from Steam KitchenRecipe: Minestrone Soup
Minestrone is glorified vegetable soup. It’s usually made with whatever is in season and often contains pasta or rice and always has beans in it. I’m not a really big of this soup in restaurants as it’s usually served very thin with a ton of pasta and not much in the way of vegetables and also usually has a beef base which I don’t like. I made mine with vegetable stock but feel free to make yours with chicken or beef if you have that instead. This recipe makes about 8 servings but could be easily scaled down.

Recipe: Cheesy Broccoli Soup
A super simple way to make broccoli disappear in a matter of minutes. Creamy, rich, not all that good for you but delicious. I actually would use much less cheese and then taste and add as much as you need because I dumped it all in the first time and it was actually too cheesy I ended up putting in some stock to thin out the flavor.

Recipe: Cauliflower Soup
This is a very mild but filling soup which comes out quite creamy. It’s the perfect compliment to a winter afternoon and keeps well in the freezer.

Recipe: Chicken Noodle Soup
A fairly classic recipe presented very simply. Perfect on a cold day and comes together actually quite quickly for a soup. I like to flavor it with some of Penzey’s mural of flavor in addition to a bay leaf.

Recipe: Chicken and Rice Soup
This recipe requires very little effort aside from some chopping which can pretty much be done at the same time. Very delicious too, we ate half for dinner and then half for lunch the next day.

Recipe: Lasagna Soup
This is my first new recipe since January which is nice and embarrassing on my part but at least I got off the ground right? This soup is an interesting twist on an old favorite. It’s hearty and warm. Pictures are thanks to my new phone which is also a camera making it easier to share images quickly!
