    French Soup Recipes

    One of my favorite French-girl healthy eating tricks is to always have a pot of soup in the fridge – ready to reheat at a moment’s notice.

    This New Year I have decided to become more consistent with my soup making. I realize that I eat much better throughout the week when I have a portion of comforting, delicious soup in the fridge I can reheat at a moment’s notice. Making soup is a great way to get my kids to eat extra vegetables too!

    Here are some of my favorite recipes to get you started:

    a bowl of leek soup with sauteed leeks as a garnish

    Magical Leek Soup

    Poule au Pot

    poule au pot - chicken and vegetables in a chicken stock with fresh dill
    La Poule au Pot - the easiest way to cook a whole chicken

    Best Broccoli and Blue Cheese Soup

    Healthy Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup

    French Onion Soup Gratinée

    Provençal Tomato Soup with Basil

    La Soupe au Pistou

    two bowls butternut squash soup with cream and sage on a table with a fresh baked baguette
    Butternut Squash Soup with Crispy Sage

    Soup recipes from last year to get you started:

    Italian Chicken Sausage, White Bean & Kale Soup

    Fancy Cream of Cauliflower Soup

    Vegetarian Minestrone with homemade pesto

    La Soupe de Mamie - Vegetable Potage

    Ratatouille Soup with homemade pesto

    Soupe au Pistou

    #SOUPSUNDAYCHALLENGE

    The Goal: Make one pot of soup every Sunday for 4 weeks.

    Dates: January 5th-January 26th 2024

    The community: Use the hashtag #soupsundaychallenge on instagram or join my face book group and Pinterest page.

    Every weekend I will share a soup recipe you can make at home for inspiration. Due to work commitments I won't be able to show up on instagram live every week this year, however I will be sending weekly emails and encouragement.

    If you have been reading my blog for a while you know how much I love my soups! I like to make several big batches of soup at once – filling up my freezer with healthy, homemade goodness. You can read the blog post on freezer meal batch cooking here.

    I would love to see what soups you are making so please share photos with the #soupsundaychallenge or on the facebook group . I find it so inspiring to see your favorite recipes!

    Why Soup?

    Soups are amazing. Truly. What better way to eat lots of veggies in one serving while reducing food waste in your fridge?

    I like that most soups are very quick to make and do not require much culinary precision. Anyone can make soup.

    Those carrots that are past their prime or that box of spinach that you had intended to eat at the beginning of the week? Perfect for soup!

    Plus, is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of homemade soup?

    Equipment needed

    You likely have everything you need already, but if you don’t, I highly suggest a good size soup pot for making big batches of soup to portion out.

    I have this 10qt Marseille Blue Le Creuset that I love.

    Stand Mixers are amazing for making blended soups without the mess of transferring to a blender.

    Last but not least, make sure you have some freezer safe food containers ready to portion out your leftover soup to eat throughout the week or stack in your freezer.
