A Note from Kim
Comfort in a Bowl
The best soup recipes are the ones that make your kitchen smell amazing and your whole family feel cozy! There’s so much to love about fall, crisp weather, colorful leaves, cozy baked goods, and warm drinks, but soup is hands down my favorite part of the season. I love it because it’s comforting, easy to make, and always tastes even better the next day.
Whether I’m craving something hearty and filling or light and veggie-forward, soup is my go-to meal all fall and winter long. To celebrate soup season, I’ve gathered some of my favorites to keep you warm, satisfied, and give you inspiration in the kitchen.
With love (and lots of good eats),

Tips and Tricks for Making Soup
Build layers of flavor. Start by sautéing aromatics like onions, garlic, leeks, or celery to create a flavorful base. Toast spices briefly in the pot to release their aroma before adding liquids.
Cut ingredients evenly. Chop vegetables and proteins to similar sizes so everything cooks at the same rate.
Season in stages. Add salt and pepper during sautéing, simmering, and before serving to build balanced flavor.
Puree for creaminess. Use an immersion blender or countertop blender to smooth out soups; add cream, milk, or coconut milk for extra richness.
Store properly. Soups taste even better the next day! Transfer to airtight containers and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Swap in seasonal vegetables, proteins, or spices. Most soup recipes are forgiving and adaptable.
