•  Tortilla SoupSally Vargas”I followed the recipe exactly, and the tortilla soup was so tasty! This will be added to our rotation. Thanks for sharing!” —Erin
•  French Onion SoupSimply Recipes / Elise Bauer”I’ve tried much more “complex” French onion soup recipes that took me all day to make that didn’t taste anywhere near as good as THIS recipe. It’s so easy and quick to make. I finally don’t have to order Panera every time I feel like French onion soup!” —TanaGET RECIPE
•  Tomato SoupAlison Bickle”I was shocked by how good and how easy this soup was to make! I will never buy store bought tomato soup again! This soup is creamy, rich and flavorful!” —Beehostess
•  Stovetop Taco SoupSimply Recipes / Marta Rivera Diaz”Fabulous. I will be making this again (and again). I subbed vegetable broth for beef. Used corn from my stash of frozen corn on the cob from summer. All other ingredients were unchanged.” —GigiGET RECIPEContinue to 5 of 16 below.
•  Hawaiian Oxtail SoupElise Bauer”My husband made this soup… oh it was delicious! He’s from Hawaii and when we travel there we enjoy it so much. Haven’t traveled much since March. He decided to make this and it is so authentic and is considered comfort food! Delicious!” —VickyGET RECIPE
•  Creamy Celery SoupElise Bauer”This is ridiculously good. When I was younger, my guilty pleasure was canned cream of celery soup. This recipe exceeded expectations. I puréed in a blender to get it velvety smooth – the way I like it. Afterwards I stirred in a good amount of 35% cream, then added the braised celery. Delicious!” —MattedcatGET RECIPE
•  Black Bean SoupElise Bauer”This recipe was an A+. The sweet flavor from the molasses and the addition of sweet potato made the recipe unique and mouthwatering. My three teenage boys all had 2-3 bowls.” —MelissaGET RECIPE
•  Easy Egg Drop SoupElise Bauer”I’ve probably made this 50 times. My kids love it. I make one change, I usually add peas or corn at the end.” —KristinaGET RECIPEContinue to 9 of 16 below.
•  Creamy Chicken Enchilada SoupSimply Recipes / Sally Vargas”Best soup I’ve ever made. I substituted cotija cheese and Monterey cheese with cheddar cheese. Perfectly served in a middle-size bowl with a side of basmati rice.” —AngelGET RECIPE
•  White Bean and Ham SoupWhite Bean and Ham Soup.”This is, quite literally, the best soup I’ve ever made. I’ve used this recipe as written (using shanks unless I can’t find them, and then I’ll use hocks and throw in some diced ham at the end) for years and it’s never not been delicious! I just wish I had a bigger pot so that I could make a double batch! Served with crusty bread for dipping, this is the perfect cold-weather dinner.” —SandraGET RECIPE
•  Mandu Guk (Korean Dumpling Soup)Simply Recipes / Uyen Luu”Delicious! I actually ate a 1/2 cup later that evening for a snack instead of dessert. High praise from me. This first attempt, I used frozen gyoza dumplings I had on hand but am gearing up to try making homemade Mandu dumplings for Lunar New Year. Thank you for a great recipe!” —AmyGET RECIPE

•  Creamy Tortellini Soup with Sausage and SpinachAlison Bickel”Wow, this is my first time making any kind of tortellini and it was delicious! I’m definitely copying this recipe down for my recipe box. I didn’t have any mushrooms but I did have a zucchini in the fridge so I used that as a veggie instead.” —AbigailGET RECIPE
•  Easy Hamburger SoupMegan Keno”Made this last night and it was a major hit! Super easy with ingredients I always have on hand. Even better today for lunch!” —Laura
