We are in the throes of soup season, and I'm really leaning into having a cozy bowl for dinner most nights. There are several reasons that soup is so beloved in the winter months and beyond. It can be pulled together with whatever vegetables you have laying around—plus some pantry ingredients—for a dinner that tastes complex but is easy and budget-friendly. Not to mention, getting creative with herbs and spices can help you amp up the flavor even more. Also, you can easily make a big batch and freeze half for when you're in a pinch. For example, I've been traveling a lot lately (for work and otherwise), so getting home from a long trip and being able to heat up homemade soup for dinner in minutes has been so helpful. And last but certainly not least, the flavor combinations for soup are seemingly endless. Thanks to our recent Souper Bowl poll, we have tons of new and delicious recipes worth trying this winter and spring. Including mouth-watering dishes like Green Chile Chicken Pozole, Vegetarian Lasagna Soup and Kimchi-Tofu Soup with Sesame & Egg, here are my favorite new soup recipes on the site.

Fresh and dried mushrooms provide a deep umami flavor in this brothy soup, while harissa paste brings color and spiciness. Lentils serve as a great source of plant-based protein and help bulk up the soup so you'll feel full and satisfied.

All the delicious flavors of a vegetarian lasagna can be found in this cozy soup. Mushrooms, zucchini and spinach provide color and nutrients, while a ricotta-and-mozzarella topping provides the signature cheesiness and creaminess. Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for dipping.

This slow-cooker chowder draws inspiration from both American corn chowder and Thai curry. Thai chile and green curry paste provide spiciness and umami, while cream and coconut milk round out the flavors, resulting in a soup that's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Blending part of the soup helps thicken it for a delicious bite.

Slow-Cooker Green Minestrone with Fennel &Parmesan

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

A strip of Parmesan rind in the broth gives this minestrone soup a deep, layered flavor, and fresh fennel adds a bright anise note. You don't need much pesto here—swirl in just enough to tint the broth and release its fresh-basil scent. If you avoid cheese made with rennet, look for vegetarian Parmesan cheese, which is made without it.

This vegetarian French onion soup is teeming with onions and shallots that caramelize and add sweet and savory flavor to the soup. Vegetable broth stands in for beef broth, but mushroom broth, with its dark color and earthy flavor, is also a good option.

In this healthy cauliflower soup recipe, roasting the cauliflower first adds depth and prevents the florets from turning to mush. A little tomato sauce and coconut milk give the broth a rich, silky texture. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired.
