    What makes an easy soup?

    Easy soup recipes should be simple in concept, rely only on a single pot, and be pretty forgiving.  They're the perfect recipes for new cooks or for people who enjoy cooking, but who like to experiment in the kitchen.

    Tips

    Most soups follow the same basic method of preparation. First, you sauté or sweat the aromatics in cooking fat, and then add vegetables or meat before adding your liquid medium (typically bone broth or chicken broth).  Then you simmer it all together.

    Add cooked beans and grains as well as tender herbs and leafy greens toward the end of cooking. Cooked beans and grains may soak up too much liquid if added earlier, while leafy greens and herbs can overcook quickly. Adding them toward the end of cooking improves the soup.

    For puréed soups, you'll take the additional step of puréeing or blending the soup until smooth. This works well for vegetable soups and cream soups, and an immersion blender which can be used to purée the soup right in the pot is the easiest option.

    Recipes

    Most of these easy soup recipes come together in about 30 minutes.  They're also flexible, allowing for easy adjustments on the fly such as adding more herbs, or different vegetables.
