I love soup, it’s one of my favorite comfort foods. And I love experimenting with flavors in the kitchen. One of the best soups I ever came up with was this Instant Pot Wild Rice and Chicken Soup. I make it all the time now. It’s creamy and hearty and takes just a few minutes in the instant pot.

Meatless soup ideas

One of the all-time favorite soup recipe ideas of my daycare kids is this easy and inexpensive taco soup. My kids BEG for this. When I see grown adults and teens around town that I used to keep, they always bring up my quesadillas and my taco soup. My daughter begs for this soup as well. It’s really flavorful, spicy, and one of the easiest things you’ll ever make! You can even make it as a gift. Check out taco soup in a jar here.

This cauliflower butternut squash soup has a little bacon in it for flavor, but if you want a truly meatless soup, you can leave that out. It’s delicious either way. We add it sometimes and leave it out sometimes and it’s always a hit at our house. It’s a creamy soup recipe that makes your soul feel fed when you eat it. And if you want to skip the cauliflower, check out this butternut squash soup recipe without it.

And speaking of squash soups, this hearty summer squash soup is so fresh and light, it’s a great soup to have in the summertime when your garden is putting out tons of yummy squash. We added chicken to this recipe, but with the beans and noodles, you can do it either way. We usually make it without. And If you want a creamy summer squash soup, check out our roasted summer squash soup here that is blended. It’s so good!

Pork soup recipes

I LOVE tortellini in soups or as a pasta dish. They are bursting with flavor and the chew on them is so satisfying. We call them belly buttons around here.
