Soups and Stews

Dozens of vegetarian soup recipes for cold days and weeknight dinners. Most of these are ready in about half an hour, and almost all are ‘meal soups’ that don’t need any sides or additions to make them into a full main dish.

If you like some spice, try a hearty Lentil Chili with two types of lentils, Spicy Pinto Bean Soup, or seasonal Moroccan Chickpea, Sweet Potato, and Kale Soup.

For an easy weeknight dinner, try reader favourites Lentil and Potato Stew or Carrot, Red Lentil, and Spinach Soup, or low effort Spicy Tomato Soup with Coconut Milk, made with only pantry ingredients.

If noodle soups are more your thing, try classic Chickpea Noodle Soup, cold-weather staples Winter Vegetable Minestrone and Cabbage Lentil Soup, or Spring Green Vegetable Coconut Rice Noodles, a light coconut milk broth filled with spring veg.

No matter what kind of soup or stew you like, you’ll find filling, delicious seasonal and year-round options here.
