Happy New Year! Are you eager, worn out, hung-over, excited, or ready for summer?
Maybe, you’re cold and looking to warm up with a soothing bowl of soup? Or maybe you’re fighting off a bit of a cold from the holiday excitement?
Yes to all of the above.
Here are the top 10 soup recipes of the year according to you. I’ll rank the soups below and then tell you my personal favourites at the end. I also suggest serving the soup with warm & crispy cornbread or cheezy garlic bread.
Let’s get warm/healthy/energized…!
10. Red Lentil and Squash Curry Stew
9. Husband’s Healing Stew
8. Carrot Apple Ginger Soup
7. Vegan Tortilla Soup
6. Energizing and Spicy Broccoli Dal
5. Curried Lentil Soup
4.Broccoli and Cheeze Soup

My favourite soups just so happen to be the top 4 soups plus the carrot soup! Oh how I adore the carrot soup. And the red lentil and squash stew is high up there on my list too. What about you?

I’ve made both the holiday soup for the soul and the carrot apple ginger–both were AMAZING!!!
I made a version of your Holiday Soup for the Soul for New Years Eve! It is now my husband’s favorite meal! :)
The creamy roasted tomato one looks delicious. I have a soft spot for all tomato soups (except Campbells–>gross!)
I LOVE SOUP! The best homemade meal a person can make in my opinion!!! These are all amazing!
These round ups are my favorite – so many things to try! Perfect timing – the weatherman just said something about single digit temps. Probably sounds like child’s play to you! LOL!
I never think to make soups, they always seem like a ton of work to me, but truly they are basically a throw everything in the pot and walk away kind of meal. Gotta make more this winter!!
These would ALL be on my list– you just can’t beat a good soup in January!!
All of your top posts have made me realize that I don’t make enough entrees for my blog! Top desserts? I could make 100 posts highlighting them all! You’re just so good at making savory food look good :) Loved that broccoli dal. Definitely my favorite!
haha I’m the same…I’m trying to make a top desserts post for later this week and it”s tough! I might have to do a top 20 ;)
Yummy! I’ve made the healing stew many times! Perfect even if your not sick :D
We loved your ginger soup! I can’t wait to try the others!
I made the curried lentil soup and loved it! I bet the others are great too.
Yep, all of the above for me too! Funny you mentioned the dal, because I made one on the weekend and ate it for dinner last night! It’s a bit of a different recipe (one our Sri Lankan friend used to make all the time when I lived in Bahrain), but so, SO hearty and delicious! Stay warm today Ange! :)
Yum! All the soups look wonderful!! I love these kind of posts!
Yum, I need to try these! Well, the ones without nutritional yeast, as it’s hard to get here. How come the comments are closed on some of the entries (like that tomato soup, for example)? Is it necessary to use roma tomatoes or would any do?
Hey Jessy, I think my comments close after 90 days…sorry about that! Maybe I can re-open them. I think you can use any type of tomato!
I personally loved your holiday soup for the soul, but all of them look wonderful! I only just learned how to roast garlic, actually, and it’s been life-changing. Especially when added to mashed potatoes. :)
the broccoli daal was sooo good it hurt my mouth.
The mushroom millet soup is my fave. I’m on my third batch of it since you posted it. I use quinoa instead of millet. Going to try more of them this year. I’m bad for eating the same dishes over and over when i like them.
hah that’s great!!
Hey Angela, just wanted to let you know that there is some info missing in the recipe for the mushroom millet soup on your recipage. In the directions it doesn’t say when to add the mushrooms. I noticed it’s in the directions in the original post, just not on the recipage.
Thanks for the great recipe though!
Thanks Danielle for letting me know! I’ve corrected it in the recipage now. Thank you again!
Love these! Can’t wait to try them!
I am loving all of the end-of-the-year recipe lists! Perfect mini-cookbook when I need a quick idea.
angela!
is it weird that MILLET is one of my favorite foods?
is it weird that roasted GARLIC is one of my favorite foods?!
your black eyed pea chili – wins the blue ribbon in my home for awesome warm food of the season! thank you for the soup post today! perhaps January 2012 will mark an OSG 10-days soup-making-marathon month in my home too?!
happy monday! – jasper
