As the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, cozy up with a warm bowl of comforting soup. Suvie makes it easy to prepare your soup in advance and have it ready when you are. Add some fluffy garlic bread, a side salad, or tender cornbread to go alongside your soup and you’ll have little reason to get up off the couch.
1) Black Bean Soup
This umami-rich soup is hearty and comforting. Porcini mushrooms and soy sauce amplify the meaty flavors in this vegetarian dish, while ensuring the spotlight stays on those tender black beans. Due to the long cooking time there is no need to pre soak the beans. Enjoy your black bean soup topped with sour cream, crushed up tortilla chips, or minced red onion.
2) Hearty Sausage and Bean Soup
This comforting soup is perfect for chilly nights. Hot Italian sausage flavors the broth and permeates the entire soup with spice. A mix of pinto and white beans adds body and toothsome texture to every bite. This soup is made for modifications. Swap hot Italian for turkey or chicken sausages, arugula for spinach, chickpeas or black beans for the pintos and white beans. Add a couple slices of garlic bread and you’ve got a cozy evening ahead.
3) Ultra Creamy Cauliflower Soup
This ultra creamy cauliflower soup is the perfect cold weather meal. Rich, thick and hearty, this soup requires only 6 ingredients, 10 minutes of prep time, and is vegetarian (easily make the soup vegan by swapping olive oil in for the butter). Serve this soup with slices of toasted bread and a side salad for a complete and cozy meal.
4) Italian Sausage and Gnocchi Soup
This slow cooked version of Italian Sausage and Gnocchi soup is packed with enough hearty bites of meat, vegetables, and pasta to tackle any appetite. Baby bella mushrooms and dark leafy greens give this recipe a garden fresh feel while soft pillowy gnocchi and savory sausage bring a rich lusciousness to coat your spoon.
5) Chicken and Rice Soup
You don’t have to worry about overcooked rice in this classic dish thanks to Suvie. Cooking the rice separately and stirring it into the soup just before serving ensures the rice retains its shape, while still absorbing the flavorful chicken broth. First we sear the chicken in a hot skillet to develop deep, meaty flavor compounds before slow cooking. The chicken breasts poach in the broth, infusing the soup with rich flavor.
6) Cream of Butternut Soup
This simple, smooth, and creamy soup is ideal for chilly weather cooking, especially when hearty cold-weather squashes are in season. Butternut squash is slow simmered with vegetable broth and half and half (feel free to substitute your favorite dairy-free milk alternative for a vegan version of this recipe), and lightly seasoned with salt and ground black pepper. The maple nut crunch topping adds some fun texture and flavor to this dish.
7) Minestrone Soup
Minestrone is a vegetable-based Italian soup with a myriad of variations. Minestrone is an ideal choice when you have an assemblage of vegetables in the refrigerator that need using up. If you’re short on fresh produce, a bag of mixed frozen vegetables is quick and easy to use instead.
