1. Make-Ahead Guinness Irish Stew

We nearly always make this stew around St. Paddy's day, but it's good anytime. This is a hearty, delicious hug in a bowl. I highly recommend enjoying it with a pint of Guinness!

2. Easy Turkey Chili

We eat this chili a couple of times each month, whether it's the dead of Winter of the middle of Summer. Leftovers are great on baked potatoes.

3. Instant-Pot Vegetable Pho Noodle Soup

Charred aromatics deepen the flavor of this delicious, vegan soup. Load your bowl up with bright, fresh garnishes and be sure to also check out the vegan option for my Quick Nuoc Cham Sauce – Vietnamese Dipping Sauce.

4. Sausage Kale and Potato Soup

This is the newest recipe on the blog. Inspired by Portuguese caldo verde, this is a hearty, delicious soup your whole family will love. 

5. Turkey and Wild Rice Soup

This is a go-to soup whenever we have leftover turkey, which is always the case after holiday dinners. The soup starts with a rich turkey broth made in the slow-cooker from the turkey carcass.

6. Lemon-Turmeric Chicken Orzo Soup

This bright, beautiful soup is loaded with healthy ingredients and an unusual, delicious flavor profile. Easy to make in the Instant-Pot or the stovetop.

7. Ginger-Turmeric Butternut Squash Soup

This silky, delicious vegetarian/vegan soup is deliciously flavored with turmeric and ginger, both superfoods with anti-inflammatory properties. This stunning soup is perfect for a lunch or light dinner.

8. Soul-Warming Barley Chicken and Vegetable Soup

This is a splendid bowl of hearty, delicious comfort food. One of my favorite uses of leftover rotisserie chicken.

9. Caldillo: Green Chile Pork Stew

Green Chile Pork Stew is a spicy, hearty dish with roots in Mexican and New Mexican cuisine. I love to make this stew in advance because the flavors have a chance to meld and deepen. Plus, it means all I have to do for dinner the next day is reheat—win-win!

10. Moroccan Lamb Stew

This stew is one of our favorites, with its out-of-the-box, amazing flavor profile. Chunks of dried apricot round out the deeply spiced broth of this hearty stew. 

11. Vegan Pantry Tomato Soup with Homemade Croutons

This soup comes together quickly with the help of pantry staples. For the croutons, simply cube up some day-old bread, toss with oil and seasoning, and toast in the oven. Is there anything more comforting than tomato soup?!

12. Green Chile Chicken Pozole (Pozole Verde de Pollo)

A hearty, delicious bowl based on an iconic Mexican dish. This stew is simplified by beginning with the meat and carcass of a rotisserie chicken. The carcass is the basis of the stock for the soup, which can slow-cook all day. 

13. Creamy Curried Acorn Squash Soup

This mildly spicy soup makes a stunning vegetarian option for lunch or a light dinner.

14. Easy Pasta e Fagioli Soup

This is my re-imagined take on Olive Garden's Pasta Fagioli soup. Instead of ground beef, this soup starts with Italian sausage, which gives a fantastic flavor boost. It has an all-day simmered flavor, but is done in 45 minutes.

15. Pork-Miso Ramen Soup with Soy-Marinated Egg

This is, quite simply, my favorite soup in the entire world. It represents years of research (er, eating ramen) and combines everything I love about this Asian noodle soup. Although the soy-marinated egg in the recipe is fantastic, I now usually make Soy-Miso Marinated Ramen Eggs. These salty umami bombs will blow your mind.

16. Fresh Tomato Soup

This soup is perfect for the very beginning of Fall, when you can still get the last of the gorgeous Summer tomatoes. This is a silky-smooth, delicious soup that just begs to be served with a grilled cheese sandwich.

17. Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

When you eat this decadent, creamy soup you'll kick the can to the curb! You'll learn options for making the condensed version for adding to casserole recipes and normal-consistency for lunch, light dinner, or a fabulous first course for a special-occasion meal.

18. Instant Pot Ham and Bean Soup

This is a perfect soup to make with leftover ham (especially bone-in). You can make it start-to finish in the Instant Pot. Serve with a chunk of crusty bread for a pure, delicious comfort food experience.
