20 Healthy Soup Recipes That Will Leave You Scraping Your Bowl

Whether you like your soup hot or cold, creamy or chunky, you’ll be sure to find something to love on this list.

I like soups are both hearty and healthy and made with fresh ingredients that won’t blow your budget or your diet, so that’s what you’re going to find a lot of here.

For example, the Quinoa and Cauliflower Chowder is a lean version of the typically heavy soup that uses quinoa as a healthy thickener, and the lively Thai Carrot Soup with Basil uses a killer chili garlic sauce.

Enjoy!

Spicy Korean Beef Noodle Soup

Serves 2

Chicken noodle soup isn’t the only comforting, hearty soup to have when you’re sick. This Korean soup has mushrooms, bok choy, beef, and a different kind of noodle.

Mung bean noodles, also called glass or cellophane noodles, are still packed with carbs but rank fairly low on the glycemic index, meaning they will give your immune system the energy needed to fight off infection, yet won’t cause your blood sugar levels to soar.

And if you’re feeling stuffed up, you can make this spicier to help you breathe through your nose again.

Thai Carrot Soup with Basil

Serves 4

This carrot soup tastes like a whole lot more than carrots, and yet it’s extremely easy to make.

Mostly it’s onion, garlic, and carrots simmered in vegetable broth. But by introducing some Thai flavors into the dish, it’s not as bland as that might sound. Only three ingredients are required to transform the carrot soup into something lively: chili garlic sauce, a fresh herb like basil or mint, and of course peanut butter.

Serve with coconut milk and Sriracha, if desired.

French Onion Soup

Serves 6

Classic French onion soup is a labor of love.

The onions have to first be caramelized, possibly with wine and butter. Then for the flavors to develop, the soup simmers until the liquid thickens enough so the caramelized onions won’t just sink to the bottom. Finally, there’s the cheesy toast on top, which can be broiled until perfectly browned.

Since that’s so many steps, this is a great candidate for Crock Pot soup, allowing you to set it and forget it – at least until you’re hungry.

Healing Turkey Soup

Serves 6

Before cold season starts, it’s a good idea to make some nutritious soups from scratch to keep in the freezer.

The base of this soup is a bone broth made from a whole turkey that’s already been picked over for meat – so you’ll want to remember this one right after Thanksgiving. You can get it started the next morning.

All you do is break up what’s left of the turkey so it can fit into a big stock pot (or slow cooker) to boil. Slice an onion in half to toss in there, if you want, and add water periodically as it turns into homemade broth.

Blissful Butternut Squash Soup

Serves 4

For an easy butternut squash soup, you don’t need to worry about dicing it up and roasting it in the oven. Instead, scoop out the flesh into a slow cooker, and just add broth and coconut milk.

A pinch of nutmeg and a diced shallot contribute just enough flavor to turn this into a full-bodied vegetable soup. And no one will know you made it in a Crock Pot with only 10 to 15 minutes of active cooking time.

One-Pot Mexican Chicken & Rice Soup

Serves 8

You don’t need noodles to make a comforting chicken soup. This one uses brown rice to get all your favorite Mexican ingredients in one bowl. And believe it or not, this healthy soup is as easy to make as a burrito.

Stick everything in a stockpot, bring to a boil, and then simmer until the rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. Top with anything you’d put on a taco – fresh cilantro, pico de gallo, salsa, and guacamole.

Healthy Hot & Sour Soup with Pork

Serves 4

This update on Chinese hot and sour soup has it all: mushrooms, pork, and tofu. That makes it more flavorful and substantive than anything you can order with Chinese takeout.

In larger portions, hot and sour soup makes a filling lunch that has plenty of protein, or it can be served before a stir fry like chicken broccoli or a lighter entrée like steamed fish.

Quinoa & Cauliflower Chowder

Serves 8

Chowder is typically a heavy variety of soup made with cream and cornstarch. However, it’s possible to make a thick, creamy chowder that has lean macros.

To reduce the fat by another 3 grams per serving, switch to skim milk. This vegetarian chowder has some protein from the quinoa, which also replaces the cornstarch. Although it’s better known as a grain replacement, quinoa is also an excellent soup thickener as it absorbs the liquid and creamier as it breaks down a bit.

Mexican food gets a bad rap for being greasy, but that’s only because we’re too used to eating tacos for takeout.

This healthy vegetable soup has Southwestern ingredients, including green chilies, cilantro, and corn, and yet keeps it light with a zucchini base. It’s not only nutritious but also convenient.

Pumpkin Lentil Soup

Serves 4

This soup is pureed before serving, so it’s a great way to try lentils if you aren’t a fan of the texture.

A great source of plant-based protein and fiber, lentils are worth fitting into your meal plan somehow. They’re similar to other legumes, with macros nearly equal to black beans, and also provide minerals like copper, phosphorous, and molybdenum.

Serves 6

Broccoli soup sounds like it must be a smart dietary decision. However, it’s not always healthy when loaded with cheese and butter.

This recipe finds a way to achieve balance so you can have your cheddar and eat it too. Fat-free evaporated milk will make this broccoli soup creamy, and using reduced-fat cheese keeps the macros in check so you’re getting equal amounts of protein and fat.

Tomato Bisque Soup

Serves 4

Of course it’s easy to make tomato soup when you start with canned goods. Surprisingly, it only takes one extra step to use fresh tomatoes for even better flavor.

Boil a pot of water, and put the tomatoes in there for half a minute until the skins loosen and will slip right off. Cut in half, crush, and those fresh tomatoes are ready to become soup.

For this simple bisque, the fresh tomatoes go in the Crock Pot with onions, carrots, and herbs. Finally the soup is blended with heavy cream (you could use half and half instead, although the difference in macros is small).

Kielbasa, Cabbage & Potato Soup

Serves 6

There’s a time and a place for borscht, but there aren’t many more crowd-pleasing cabbage soups to have in your weeknight dinner rotation.

First, add meat like kielbasa to develop a richer, savory flavor. Then bulk it out with potatoes and beans, and top with some tangy cheese like Swiss or gruyere. There’s still healthy cabbage in the mix, but it’s not the standout ingredients in terms of presentation or flavor.

Egg Drop Soup

Serves 1

Most soups have to simmer on the stove for a while before they’re ready, but you could be eating this one in as little as 5 minutes.

Start by placing chicken stock on the stove, and once it boils, add scallions and any other greens you have on hand, such as kale or spinach. Bring the liquid to a simmer, and gently slide an egg out of a small bowl and into the soup.

It’ll be cooked in just a minute, and then you just have to grab a spoon.

Split Pea, Ham & Barley Soup

Split pea soup can be pared down to just broth, carrots, and of course peas. Yet it’s even better as a use for leftover ham, and it can help you introduce an under-used grain: barley.

Sure you might consume it in the form of beer, but barley is an even better ingredient when cooked. It’s highly nutritious and contains a lot of beneficial fiber, including beta glutan, which helps to detox the digestive tract and thereby lower cholesterol.

Rustic Vegetable Soup

Serves 8

Grab all your favorite winter veggies, stick them in a pressure cooker, and soon you’ll have a delicious detox soup. You could make the same vegetable soup in a Crock Pot, but it’ll take a few hours instead of 30 minutes.

Choosing to use a pressure cooker will also ensure much of the nutritional value of these healthy foods won’t break down when heated. That’s an especially good idea if you’re one to eat all the vegetable chunks but leave behind the broth.

OVER 100,000 PEOPLE HAVE USED MY COOKBOOK TO GET THE BODY THEY WANT EATING THE FOODS THEY LOVE. WILL YOU BE NEXT?

What if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers “teach” you about dieting is wrong?

What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?

What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?

And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?

In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?

Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.

And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.

Well, I have good news.

All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.

You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.

And this book will show you the way.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
