7 Classic Soup Recipes That Are Definitely Worth Your Time This Week

Classic soup recipes are great for a couple of reasons.

  1. They’re classics for a reason which means you know it’s gonna be good.
  2. If you’re making soup for dinner, normally that means the recipe is gonna make enough for (probably) three dinners.

So you’re getting something tasty and giving yourself less work. It’s honestly a win-win.

And if you’re a classic soup fan and want a good recipe, or you’re curious about what others think are classics, then this very delicious list has got you covered.

So grab a two (or three) and enjoy your dinners this week!

Taco soup is one of my favorites since you can get creative with the toppings!

So if you’re in the mood to top it with jalapeños, Fritos, cheese, sour cream, or something else, then this is a great soup to make!

Also, the prep is 10 minutes, takes just 20 minutes to cook, and serves 6 people. I think it’s a great one to put on your list!

I’m sorry, but this Wisconsin cauliflower soup looks so cheesy and good!

Also, you’re getting tasty ingredients like garlic, half-and-half, and butter.

I don’t know how you even say no to a soup recipe like this.

Oh, and the prep time is just 10 minutes and then you let it cook and do it’s thing for 15 minutes. Pretty simple!

I love chicken and wild rice soup!

It’s so tasty and comforting that I could probably have it any time of the year (and I mean that).

And while the prep time is 15 minutes, I’d say it’s worth the time and effort if you want a really good dinner!

Ok, cajun corn and shrimp bisque sounds ridiculously good!

I love bisques in general, so I would not be opposed to trying this creamy soup.

Oh, and with ingredients like bacon, garlic, heavy cream, and potatoes, I’m about ready to go to the store so I can make it tonight!
