15 Soups That Will Have You Feeling Like Chris Evans In A Sweater
It’s finally that beautiful time of the year where the chilly air starts to nip at your nose and you can break out the knit sweaters and turtlenecks you’ve kept tucked away all summer. Who hasn’t seen Knives Out and decided they would look just like Chris Evans in a woven wool sweater, or When Harry Met Sally and dreamed of finally merging sweater collections after a slow-burn romance? But let’s be honest, sometimes the thrifted cowl-neck that you just knew was going to make you the star of the Sunday potluck hits a little too close to a JCPenny photo shoot—not that I’m speaking from personal experience or anything.

Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken noodle soup is one of the world’s most beloved comfort foods, and I definitely took that to heart when creating this recipe. Chunks of juicy chicken mingle with carrots, celery, and tender egg noodles in a deep, savory broth for a soup that will transport you right back to Grandma’s table after just one spoonful.

Butternut Squash Soup
As far as cozy, hearty fall soups go, butternut squash soup will always be the go-to choice in my book. The sweet and slightly earthy flavor that comes from a butternut squash makes it my ideal choice when it comes to whipping up a warming bowl of fall goodness. The added creaminess from the blended potatoes plus the savory herbs make this a welcome addition to any fall dinner.

Steak Au Poivre Soup
Steak au poivre is a French classic, typically made with filet mignon or sirloin steak covered in a creamy, peppery sauce. The sauce is downright drinkable and was made to be eaten with a spoon, so I thought—let’s soup-ify it! This soup is simple enough for a weeknight but impressive enough for date night.

Miso Soup
Classic comfort food, miso soup is the bowl I turn to when I need something cozy and comforting yet light. Essentially, miso soup is just miso paste whisked into a dashi—dashi is the Japanese word for stock. It’s the perfect start to a meal or the most satisfying way to warm up on a cold day.

Matzo Ball Soup
A symbolic dish of past hardships, matzo ball soup may be an essential component of the Passover feast and a recurring Hanukkah dish, but I love to enjoy it all year long. This classic recipe—complete with homemade chicken broth and light and fluffy matzo balls—has a few ingredients that may surprise you, but truly perfects this pinnacle comfort food.

Creamy Chicken Marsala Gnocchi Soup
Creamy chicken Marsala and French onion gnocchi soup are already at the top of my easy weeknight dinner list, so it's only right to combine them. The result is a hearty, Marsala-spiked soup packed with pan-fried chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and pillowy gnocchi. This is basically an Italian American chicken and dumpling soup, and I can’t get enough of it.

French Onion Soup
Rich, deeply flavorful, and downright decadent, French onion soup is the treat-yourself comfort food I’ll never tire of. Caramelized onions, a beefy broth, and the signature melty cheese and bread topping all transform the soup into an enduring classic. While I love to curl up to a bowl of this soup on cold winter nights, it’s also a perfect dish to satisfy party guests.

Baked Feta Soup
The original baked feta pasta took the world (and Delish) by storm. Our love of it inspired our newest obsession: this cozy, warming soup. Though I can basically never say no to pasta, on a cold winter day I often start craving cozy classics like tomato soup. If you're craving the same baked feta vibe but in soup form, then this recipe is the answer.

Both the soup and cheese sticks are ready in under 30 minutes.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Kicky chili powder and smoky fire-roasted tomatoes give what could easily be a boring bowl of soup a jolt of flavor and depth. For this recipe, I adapted the classic soup for the slow cooker, turning it into the ultimate set-it-and-forget it affair.

Creamy Chicken Ramen Soup
Chicken soup is amazing, but sometimes I'm in the mood for something that has a bit more flavor than your run-of-the-mill canned soup. This recipe packs a flavorful punch and then some. You get some spiciness from the curry powder, a rich creaminess from the coconut milk and if you top that of with a squeeze of lime, you have a chicken soup that will ambush your taste buds.
