Five Easy Recipes Of Soup To Make At Home
Chicken Soup
A simple chicken soup with rice is a great way to change up your routine. This recipe is easy, quick, and delicious!
Place the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger in a large pan over medium heat. Cook until golden brown.
Add chicken broth and water,and bring to a simmer. Season with salt & pepper if desired. Add cooked rice or noodles; cover pan until heated through (5-10 minutes). Serve hot!
It's also important to remember that chicken soup is not just for sick people; it's also great when you're feeling under the weather or just need something warm on a cold winter day. Not just in winter but on any evening when you feel like having it.
Sweet Potato Soup
Sweet potato soup is a hearty and creamy soup that can be made in less than 30 minutes. This recipe makes about six to seven servings, so it's great for leftovers or lunch the next day. The added turmeric gives it a beautiful golden hue, but if you don't have any on hand, you can omit it or substitute it with another spice, such as cinnamon or nutmeg. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which makes them healthy for your skin and immune system.
This recipe costs approximately $3 per serving; however, prices vary by region and ingredient availability.
Minestrone
Minestrone is a classic Italian soup made with vegetables and pasta, usually served with grated cheese. Minestrone is usually thicker than other soups and contains a wide variety of vegetables to make it healthy as well as filling. This recipe includes potatoes, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and red kidney beans (or any other type of bean that you prefer).
To make this recipe even healthier, you can substitute white cannellini beans for red kidney beans. Cannellini beans have significantly less fiber than red kidney beans but are still high in protein, so they will fill you up nicely without having too many negative effects on your blood sugar levels after eating them!
Minestrone costs about $2 per serving when made from scratch at home using fresh ingredients instead of canned ones (if you use frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones, it will cost around $1 per serving).
French Onion Soup

The best part about making French onion soup at home? It's easy! So easy that we've managed to create the recipe below in just five steps. Follow along:
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat until bubbly but not browned; add thinly sliced onions, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown (about 20 minutes).

Pour in broth; bring the mixture up to temperature by simmering for 10-15 minutes uncovered (or covered if preferred); stir frequently during this time so that all parts get evenly cooked before adding any toppings such as cheese which can melt on top too easily otherwise
