100 Warming Soups and Stews You'll Want to Cozy Up To

Whether you’re a fan of comforting potato soup, creamy tomato soup, old-fashioned chicken noodle or something healthy and packed with vegetables, there’s truly no better way to warm up on a chilly day than with a bowl of homemade soup. Many can be made with very little fuss in your slow-cooker or Instant Pot—and stored in the freezer for whenever you need a quick and satisfying meal—making soup one of our go-to dishes year-round. Looking for a few recipes to get you started? We’ve got plenty right here (from bean soups to chowders), starting with an easy chicken soup that is filled with fresh homemade egg noodles. The key is to make a quick 5-ingredient pasta dough and then simply grate it directly into store-bought chicken broth using a box grater. Rounded out with some veg and shredded rotisserie chicken, it’s a perfect dinner.

This outstanding broccoli-cheddar soup is rich, cheesy and packed with flavor. We decided to puree just over half the soup which makes it extra thick and creamy, and left the remainder chunky so there are broccoli bits in every bite. Gild the lily with more shredded cheese on top to satisfy your comfort food craving.

This soup packs the satisfying flavors of beloved chicken enchiladas into one big, comforting pot of soup. Chicken breasts simmer and flavor a broth that includes red enchilada sauce, then they’re shredded and added back for hearty texture. Since no enchilada is complete without creamy cheese, we used two: Cheddar and cream cheese. While everything is simmering together, we fry up strips of corn tortillas to make the perfect crunchy topper for this cozy weeknight meal.
