Cream of Turkey Soup
It’s not what you’re thinking. Campbell's cream of chicken soup is NOT playing any role in this recipe. Any soup labeled "cream of'' might trigger the idea of a broth-based soup thickened with a roux and cream… that’s about it. If you’re lucky, there might be some pieces of chicken hanging out in there, but good luck. We’ve decided that cream of turkey soup wouldn’t have that reputation. Instead, it’s going to be a warm wholesome soup with celery, carrots, poblano chiles, shiitakes, and bits of turkey (maybe with those Thanksgiving leftovers?!).

Caprese Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Caprese salad is one of those timeless summer flavor combos that we can’t get enough of. Juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and sweet, earthy basil also happen to make a great match for a warm and satisfying soup. To get this soup to its full texture potential, we added pillowy soft gnocchi and crispy croutons. Gno’ kidding, this soup is wildly good.

French Onion Gnocchi Soup
Forget bread and croutons, we found an even more delicious way to enjoy French onion soup—by adding gnocchi!

It’s sure to warm you up on even the coldest of nights this fall.

Carrot Ginger Soup
Canned coconut milk makes this flavorful soup super-creamy and rich while keeping it conveniently dairy-free. Just a tablespoon of fish sauce adds depth and makes this soup feel that much more special. A sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro at the end ties in all the flavors and makes it look ultra-appealing. Want to up the presentation even more? Add crispy fried shallots and chili oil for that final chef’s kiss.

Vegan French Onion Stew
Finishing the cheese toasts right in the soup pot makes for an impressive presentation, but if you're meal prepping, you want to avoid soggy leftover bread. Pro tip: Prep the cheese toasts on a sheet tray in advance to avoid soggy pieces of bread in your leftovers.

Tomato Soup
There's really nothing more comforting than a steaming hot bowl of tomato soup. We prefer using canned tomatoes rather than fresh because they tend to be packed in peak season—that means they're perfectly ripe! PLUS, the skins are removed. That means less work for you! If we were you, we'd serve this with our antipasto grilled cheese—makes for a complete (and extra-hearty) meal.

Leek And Potato Soup
This savory leek and potato soup can be left chunky or blended smooth, but the best part is the crunchy garnish that tops each bowl.
