Zuppa Toscana
Zuppa Toscana is an easy-to-make soup recipe featuring Italian sausage, potatoes, bacon and kale.
This soup is served with breadsticks and it’s a hearty meal everyone will love! It takes only one pot to make and it’s an ideal recipe to have in your back pocket when you want something filling and quick at hand.

Begin by cooking the sausage and red pepper flakes until they are crumbly, browned, and no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
Next, saute the onion and garlic in oil to get them soft and tender. This will give the soup more flavor, as well as making it simpler to cook all other ingredients in the pot.
Once the onions and garlic have softened, add the chicken broth. Mix thoroughly to incorporate everything, then bring the soup to a boil over high heat.
Once the soup has come to a boil, add the potatoes and blend them with all other ingredients. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
To make this soup dairy-free or Paleo friendly, substitute the cream with coconut cream (the thick stuff in cans of coconut milk that separates when left sitting). You could also substitute plant-based Italian sausage for extra protein.
Crockpot recipes make cooking this soup so much simpler – all the ingredients come together in just a few hours!
Cream of Mushroom Soup
This classic cream of mushroom soup is simple to make and packed with delicious mushroom flavor. Serve it warm or chilled with grilled bread coated in butter or olive oil for a delectable meal. You can customize this classic dish by using fresh mushrooms, button mushrooms, dried shiitake or porcini mushrooms – whatever you have on hand!
Start by sauteing mushrooms and onions in butter over medium heat until softened. Then add flour, stirring continuously to form a roux. This will thicken the soup and give it its desired creamy consistency.
Now the mushroom mixture is ready to be infused with chicken broth and thyme. For a richer taste, use homemade broth instead of store-bought or bouillon.
To achieve a smoother texture, blend the mixture with either an immersion blender or standing blender before serving. You may also adjust the soup’s consistency by adding more broth, milk or cream until desired.
You can add meat to this recipe by mixing in some shredded chicken, turkey or ham. It will give your soup more protein and is also suitable for vegans who follow a plant-based diet.
This creamy, hearty mushroom soup is ideal for any winter meal! It only takes a few minutes to make and uses up any leftover vegetables you may have in your refrigerator! It’s also an excellent way to use up those pesky leftover vegetables!

This recipe is an ideal low carb option for those on the keto diet, as it only has 1 net carb per serving. Feel free to spice it up with some sriracha sauce or red pepper flakes if desired!
You can thicken the soup with a few tablespoons of corn starch for an extra silky texture without adding calories. However, if you’re on a low carb diet, arrowroot powder or xanthan gum can also be used as an effective low carb thickener instead.
To make egg drop soup, begin by stirring together broth and ginger in a saucepan. Once your mixture has simmered for several minutes, whisk in corn starch slurry until fully dissolved.
Once the soup is hot, carefully stir in beaten eggs one at a time. Be careful not to stir too quickly as this may break them into small pieces.
Once the eggs have been added, swirl the soup in a circular motion to create long and wispy strands of egg. You may use chopsticks to help separate these strands.
Ginger Soup
Ginger is an ideal addition to soup due to its numerous nutritional advantages. Not only does it aid in digestion, relieve nausea and muscle pains, but it also increases nutrient absorption. Furthermore, ginger reduces inflammation and improves blood flow throughout the body.
