It’s officially soup season, meal prep friends.
And we’ve all got our go-to recipes, right? Or maybe you improv and sometimes soup doesn’t turn out exactly as amazing as you think it can. We’ve gathered some of the best soup recipes that you’ll have on repeat all season long. Because seriously, what’s better than a delicious bowl of soup?!
No matter how you like to eat, and we all know that can change from day to day depending on how we’re feeling, we’ve got lots of choices. We’ve broken them up into omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan recipes so there’s something for everyone in this post.
Remember that recipes can be just a jumping-off point, and you can always customize to what you have on hand and your personal preference. Feel free to add or subtract proteins, or change the type that’s in them. Get your meal prep containers ready, it’s time to make soup!
Tips for meal prepping soup recipes
Soup is one of the best meals to meal prep because most types will keep SO well in the fridge. And as you likely know, soup (and chili especially!) tends to taste even better after a couple of days!
If you end up making too much soup, pop some into the freezer using regular meal prep containers of my favorite, SouperCubes.
Most of these soups will last about 4 days in the refrigerator and 3-6 months in the freezer. You can reheat them on the stove or in the microwave.
I tend to like to pull the soup out of the freezer and stick it in the fridge when I think I’m going to eat it within 24-36 hours or so. Sometimes I just don’t want to wrestle with frozen food and I’d rather pour something that’s almost defrosted into a pot than struggle.
Most soups can be made even better with either fresh herbs, or some kind of garnish (avocado, cheese, sour cream, etc.) Or both!
If you’ve got a lot of veggies but no protein, and you’re not sure if it will be a filling enough soup, beans are your best friend.
