Looking for easy and budget-friendly soup recipes? I’ve been on a soup kick lately, but many recipes I come across seem too complicated or call for a long list of ingredients.

What are your favorite simple soup recipes?

I’m particularly fond of potato-based soups, cheddar broccoli, and pasta soups.

I have an immersion blender at the ready, too! I’m excited to hear your favorite go-to soups!

EDIT: Wow, this post really took off overnight! I love seeing everyone’s enthusiasm for soup! 😊
