These 20 soups are tried and true recipes that we've made again and again in our kitchen. All made with simple ingredients.
They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner! We only have one vegetarian in our family (ahem.... me, Trish), but the entire family loves every single one of these recipes, including the 5 year old. Total score.
