Coconut-Red Curry Squash Soup

Coconut-Red Curry Squash Soup Recipe

Butternut's creamy texture makes this soup silky smooth. You can also use kabocha squash (a winter squash also known as Japanese pumpkin); it has a deep, rich flavor and is a bit sweeter than butternut. Omit the sugar if using kabocha. For extra flavor contrast, sprinkle with additional black pepper.

Simple Clam Chowder

Credit: Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro

Simple Clam Chowder Recipe

Most chowders are often high in fat and calories because they contain cream, but with fat-free milk and just a sprinkling of bacon, this lightened version has only 257 calories and less than 3 grams of fat. Plus, it has the same creamy texture and mouthfeel as a traditional chowder.

Hot and Sour Soup with Shrimp

Hot and Sour Soup with Shrimp Recipe

Chili oil and white pepper provide the heat and lemon juice provides the sour, so adjust accordingly to your taste. Bamboo shoots and mushrooms help make this healthy soup filling, and both shrimp and tofu are lean protein sources.

Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

Credit: Johnny Autry; Styling: Mary Clayton Carl

Slow Cooker French Onion Soup Recipe

The slow cooker completely eliminates the stirring part of caramelizing onions; it all goes happily unattended. Freeze the bag of soup in a bowl rather than laying it flat, so it will fit in the saucepan when it's time to thaw.

Chunky Potato-Crab Chowder Recipe

In less than 45 minutes, you can enjoy this warm and hearty potato-crab chowder, a New England classic. Lump crabmeat offers a generous amount of flavor but for an inexpensive option, substitute canned crab meat or even chopped cooked chicken breast.

Creamy Broccoli-Cheese Soup Recipe

We like our version extra chunky, so we only puree about a third of the broccoli mixture in step 3. For a thinner, smoother consistency, add more soup to the blender.
