Delicious, easy, and nutritious, these soups are everything you can ask for. Want to make your meal stand out? I have just the recipes for you.
1. Roasted Carrot Soup
Do you know the best way to cook vegetables? Roast them! This method releases the natural sugars of vegetables, giving them an even deeper, bolder flavor. Now, imagine sweet roasted carrots turned into a smooth and creamy soup. It’s heavenly, to say the least. One spoonful of this soup will warm your belly and soothe your soul. Light and refreshing, it’s an excellent appetizer for hearty sandwiches and meaty entrees. This recipe gets bonus points for having three flavor variations: carrot ginger, curried carrot, and Thai carrot curry. The hardest part is deciding which one to try first!
2. Broccoli Soup
How beautiful is this bright green soup? Just by looking at it alone, you can already tell how refreshing it is. It blows my mind how this ridiculously tasty broccoli soup only requires three simple ingredients. With a bunch of broccoli florets, goat cheese creme fraiche, and olive oil, you’ll be able to whip up this creamy, cheesy goodness. You can take it up a notch by adding in some chopped walnuts and cheddar cheese. These ingredients are optional, but I highly recommend them. They complement the flavor and consistency of the soup wonderfully well.
3. Tomato Soup
As rich and delectable as grilled cheese is, it’s not complete without tomato soup. If you’re a fan of the quintessential sandwich, you should have a great tomato soup recipe in your repertoire. If you don’t have one yet, feel free to use this one. With this simple recipe, you can say goodbye to the unpleasant taste of canned tomatoes. Instead, say hello to bright and refreshing tomato soup. It’s perfect with grilled cheese, but also excellent with other sandwiches and entrees as well. I love how something so simple adds such a sophisticated air to my meals!
4. Blender Borscht
You’ve probably heard of borscht, but have you ever tried it? If you haven’t yet, you are in for a treat. First of all, look how pretty it is! The dark pink hue is absolutely appetizing. Sweet beets lend this Ukrainian soup its iconic color. Besides the beets, borscht also features a puree of carrots, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Those are just the solid components. For the liquids, you have almond milk, vegetable broth, tomato paste, lemon juice, and pickle juice. If you can’t imagine what all the elements will taste like together, here’s the perfect way to describe it: immaculate. The soup is smooth, creamy, and silky. Swirled with white cashew cream, it’s as delicious as it is beautiful.
5. Cauliflower Soup
This cauliflower soup only calls for three ingredients, proving that simple things are sometimes the greatest. It’s vegetarian, gluten-free, low-carb, and 100% delicious. You’ll only need cauliflower, salt, and pepper. It couldn’t get any simpler than that! It may be super basic, but it yields such a heavenly flavor. The combination of florets, salt, and pepper yields such a thick, velvety, tasty treat. You’ll love how wonderfully creamy it is, despite not having cream, cheese, or milk. Who says delicious has to be sinful?
6. Roasted Garlic Soup with Parmesan Cheese
Unlike other soup recipes on this list that call for vegetables, this one puts the spotlight on a popular spice instead. Do you know what roasting does to garlic? It turns the astringent spice into a soft and caramelized work of art. Its pungent flavor is reduced and gets a creamy and almost sweet taste. Apart from garlic, this soup also features onions, thyme, and Parmesan. Whipping cream makes it thick and creamy, while lemon juice gives it a bright tang.
7. Blender Pumpkin Soup
A round-up of blender soups is not complete without pumpkin soup. This quintessential autumn treat is sweet, warming, and downright delicious. Call me biased, but pumpkin soup is, hands down, my favorite soup in the entire world, ever. Sweet and creamy with a hint of spice, it has the perfect balance of flavors and textures. It’s simple, yet it’s on point. The key is roasted pumpkin. This cooking method really brings out the deliciousness of the vegetable even more. Tasty and comforting, one spoonful of this soup is enough to cure my blues.
8. Blender Gazpacho Soup
I don’t know why I once thought gazpacho was so intimidating to make. It turns out, it’s actually a breeze. It’s so easy, you can make it any day. Just like most of the recipes on this list, all you’ll need is to throw together all the ingredients in the blender and blend away. This puree has a mix of green peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, and garlic. You might be weirded out by the flavor combo, but trust me, it won’t disappoint. Served cold, it’s a refreshing appetizer on a hot summer day.
9. Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
How amazing does this vibrant butternut squash soup look? It may be brighter than the sun, but this soup is perfect for cold fall and winter months. Sweet, creamy, and warming: this soup is comfort food at its best. Pro-tip: for the best-tasting soup, be sure to roast the butternut squash beforehand. It makes such a significant difference! Using roasted butternut squash yields a much deeper flavor than usual. It’s easy enough to make any day, but it’s also worthy of special occasions. In fact, this soup tastes wonderfully well with your favorite Thanksgiving treats.
10. Cold Cucumber Soup
Looking for a cold, refreshing soup for the summer? Look no further than this delicious cucumber soup. Cucumbers, Greek yogurt, honey, garlic, and herbs make up this light soup. It’s bright, vibrant, creamy, and cool. It’s an excellent way to start your summer meal. Apart from its flavor, this soup is extra perfect for summer because you don’t need to turn on the stove to make it. No one wants to spend even just a minute in a hot kitchen on a warm summer day.
11. Chilled Cantaloupe Soup
Incredibly sweet and juicy, cantaloupe is among the most delicious fruits on the planet. It’s great as it is, but you can also turn it into a cold soup for a fantastic summer appetizer. Cantaloupe slices are pureed with Greek yogurt, honey, and orange juice. Garnished with a sprig of mint and orange wedges, this soup is as refreshing as can be. It’s sweet and creamy, with a hint of tartness from the yogurt and orange juice. Together, the components create a spectacular harmony of flavors.
12. Spinach Soup
What do you get when you puree fluffy potatoes and creamy spinach? A hearty and savory soup, that’s what! Heavy cream makes this soup beautifully thick and creamy. It’s finished off with croutons, adding a crunchy textural contrast to the smooth and silky soup. As it contains potatoes, this spinach soup is super hearty. Serve it as a side dish to grilled chicken or fish for a delectable, complete meal.
13. Avocado Soup
Nothing beats the creaminess of avocados! Whether you serve this soup warm or cold, you can’t go wrong. This soup is already super creamy even with just the avocados, but adding to its wonderful consistency and flavor is cheese. Cilantro, garlic, green onions, and lime juice give the soup extra oomph. The best part? This soup is ready in just 10 minutes. By the way, this soup keeps well in the fridge, too. Feel free to double the batch and refrigerate it for days.
14. Black Bean Blender Soup
This bean soup is smooth, creamy, and sensational. Its dark hue makes it extra appetizing, to boot. A silky and velvety blend of black beans, salsa, broth, cumin, and cilantro, this soup is undeniably delicious. Even though it calls for canned black beans, the added spices make sure you won’t taste that canned flavor in this soup at all.
15. Roasted Corn Soup
The name of the soup alone gives me so much joy. The thought of sweet, charred roasted corn makes me super giddy. Roasting doesn’t only make corn 10 times more delicious, but more nutritious as well. Studies show that this cooking method increases the levels of antioxidants in corn. This soup may be vegan and gluten-free, but believe me, it’s so scrumptious, even meat lovers will fall for it. Sweet corn kernels are given a spicy kick by paprika, garlic, chili sauce, peppercorns, and jalapenos. Of course, if you’re not a fan of spicy food, feel free to reduce the number of spices or omit them altogether. Giving it extra richness and flavor is coconut milk and olive oil. All the ingredients get pureed in the blender, yielding one heck of a delectable summer soup. It’s phenomenal, whether served hot or cold.
16. Pea Soup
Frozen peas on their own are not really that exciting. But puree them with a few ingredients, and they’ll turn into a delectable soup that’s delicious, whether hot or cold. Peas are pureed with lemon juice, thyme, sugar, salt, and pepper. The combination of sweet peas and zesty lemon makes such a refreshing flavor. This tasty blend is finished off with creme fraiche, thyme, and salt for added creaminess and flavor.
17. Tortilla Blender Soup
Last but not least is this tortilla soup that comes together in just 10 minutes. You can easily whip this up even on busy weeknights! A blend of Roma tomatoes, carrots, garlic, celery, broth, and chipotle puree, the soup base alone is already bursting with flavor. Finished with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, corn, cheese, tortilla chips, and your choice of Tex-Mex toppings, this soup is definitely a Taco Tuesday must-have. Click on a star to rate it!
