Soup is such a good way to get nutrients and keep your body healthy through the highs and lows of the winter weather. Below I’ve listed some of my favorite soup recipes for you to make to warm your soul all winter long. Bonus! They’re all super easy to whip up and freeze well if you want to batch cook and keep some in the freezer for those nights you just don’t feel like cooking.
Below I’ve compiled my favorite soup recipes and soup ideas to help spark some inspiration this winter in the kitchen.

I just find soup one of the most comforting meals. However, not all soup is equal. For me, in order for a soup to really fill me up and serve as a full meal that keeps me full for longer than an hour or two, I need to make sure it’s loaded with plant-based proteins to keep me going.

This colorful soup is going to warm you from the inside out all while delivering you a nutrient-packed soup that you can feel good about eating all week long, and/or feeding to the whole family.
I’m not sure if I’ve told you before but I am obsessed with ramen. I think the addiction started when I was really young because I had a small love affair with Ichiban… didn’t we all? This is an easy vegan version you can make at-home.
Vegetable Soup with Vegan Dumplings
Nothing says comfort food more than a big bowl of vegetable soup with vegan dumplings. It’s healthy, it’s warming, it’s easy (yes, dumplings can be easy), and it’ll become one of your winter go-to recipes.
This soup is your dream come true. When I posted about it in my Instagram stories, everyone commented saying how much they really missed a traditional broccoli cheese soup. So here you go, this is a vegan broccoli soup that is better than the real deal. You’re welcome!
Homemade Vegetable Broth Recipe
Everyone is drinking bone broth these days. I guess you can say it’s a buzz word in the health food industry. However, it’s not really so popular for vegan and vegetarian diets, for obvious reasons.
