A delicious way to enjoy your vegetables is in a hearty soup, where all the nutrients infuse into a comforting broth. And with these warming vegetable soup recipes, there’s no reason to not eat your veggies!
We’ve got a vegetable soup recipe to suit every taste preference, whether you prefer a classic homemade vegetable soup with a simple tomato broth, or a lentil soup with a dash of spice. We have veggie soups with sweet potato, as well as soups packed full of green beans and peas.
With options to make these totally vegetarian or vegan using a pure vegetable broth, you can also swap it out for chicken broth for an extra kick of flavour if you’d like. Chicken broth works especially well in a hearty soup like minestrone.
Whether you like to dress your soup with a squeeze of lemon juice and some freshly cracked black pepper, or with a sliced red chilli and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, these delicious vegetable soup recipes will simmer their way into your heart.

Can I freeze these soups?
Throughout our recipes we’ve suggested whether or not recipes are suitable to freeze. We’ve chosen to say ‘not suitable’ when coconut milk or large quantities of mushrooms and potatoes are used. However, if you don’t mind the food looking a bit sad after it’s thawed, almost anything will tolerate freezing.

What to serve with these vegetable soups
The best thing to serve with most soups is bread! Something nice and soft that can sponge up all the delicious soup from your bowl at the end of the meal. Or, you could get fancy with some cheese-topped slices of toast to bring some extra flavour to your meal. Perhaps even a classic garlic bread, especially with an Italian-style soup.
