Today, I’m so excited to share 32 of my family’s favorite soups — the recipes I make on repeat once the weather turns chilly. You’ll find everything from the coziest creamy chicken noodle soup to my brother’s most-requested ramen, a healthy Italian vegetable tortellini, and of course, my very best chili recipes. There’s even a crockpot chicken-and-dumpling soup that’s perfect for easy family dinners.
Here in Colorado, high up in the mountains, the seasons have shifted fast — fall one minute, winter the next. Our days are crisp and cold, and the nights are downright freezing. Winter is here to stay!
While everyone is planning Thanksgiving menus and starting holiday prep, this season always feels busy. I love having a pot of soup simmering away on the stove or slow-cooking in the crockpot. It’s such a comfort knowing there’s a cozy meal waiting. Especially on nights when everyone’s coming and going. Make a big batch on Sunday, and you’ll have dinner (or lunch!) ready for the week ahead.
Personally, I love heartier soups — ones with noodles, rice, or potatoes (or even a dumpling or two). But ramen (homemade, of course) is always a go-to in our house, too. This collection includes all the recipes I find myself coming back to again and again. They’re the ones my family asks for most, and they’ve become our cold-weather staples.
I love serving any of these soups with a warm roll or my easy beer bread, plus a simple winter salad for something fresh on the side.
I’d love to know which of these recipes you’re most excited to try! Are you more of a soup-and-chili person like me, or do you lean toward the ramen recipes (the only soups my brothers will eat)? And if there’s a soup you’d love to see me create, leave a comment below. I’m always looking for new family favorites to make and share!
Grab your favorite soup pot , pick a recipe, and get cooking — cozy nights are calling!

We’re huge soup people (that sounds weird?!) and I love trying new recipes. All year round I make a different soup every week. In fact we just had our annual soup night with our across the road neighbors. I made 3 different ones and they brought the dessert. Also made some Irish Soda bread muffins and warmed up some mini ciabatta rolls. I can’t wait to try just about all of these…
I love this, Chris! Who doesn’t love soup, especially in the winter?! I hope you love these recipes:)
These all sound so yummy. Make soups for my husband’s lunch. Cannot wait to try these!
Thanks so much, Cynthia!! Have a nice weekend!
Thank you
Happy to share:)
