It is finally soup season again. Soup is one of my favorite things to make at the farmhouse. After all, what goes better with a slice of sourdough bread slathered in made-from-scratch butter?
It’s so much fun to experiment with flavors and to figure out how to throw something together with what you have on hand in the fridge and pantry. (My sourdough skillet is also great for the nights you need to throw something together!)
My favorite soup is anyone that can be made in one pot. You not only end up with a delicious, hot meal for a cold night, but you also have fewer dishes to do.
So, here are a few of my favorite one-pot soup recipes for you to keep in your back pocket when you need to whip up a quick and easy dinner.
Why You’ll Love These Recipes
There’s nothing more comforting than homemade soup – Whether it is a broth-only soup or mixed with heavy cream or a tomato base, there is nothing better than a delicious soup during the cold weather season.
Rich flavor – Fresh and dried herbs, garlic cloves, and many other delicious ingredients add layers of flavor to these soups that will keep everyone going back up for seconds.
Healthy ingredients – Most of these soups (and a few stews) have a nutritious broth base. I love to use homemade bone broth that I make in the Instant pot. Many also include leafy greens, root vegetables (lots of vegetables in general!), and a hearty protein.
