Creamless Cream of Carrot Soup
This past Saturday was National Soup Swap Day. Although I had never heard of this idea until last year, I love the idea and make lots of soup all throughout the winter. Maybe next year, I’ll jump in and host a Soup Swap.
For now, I would like to share some beautiful healthy soups that I hope will inspire you to get that soup pot on the stove and start cooking. There are so many things to love about soup – a meal in one bowl, pure comfort, super easy, perfect for sharing with friends, and extremely hard to mess up. Anything goes, use your imagination.
Last year, I volunteered to teach a series of soup classes to a group of seniors at our local community center, and I am honored to have been invited back this year. It was such a rewarding experience – in a local article, one woman from the class was quoted as saying this: “Jeanette made our January and February through the horrible weather exciting and gave us something to look forward to.” That one sentence made me realize that just a little bit of my time and effort made all the difference to this one woman and hopefully others that were in the class. Totally worth it…every minute.
Here we go…Soup Time! All of these soups are vegetarian friendly (just swap out any chicken broth with vegetable broth).

I’ve always been a huge soup fan…and love the idea of hosting/joining a soup swap. I think what you’re doing with teaching the classes for seniors is awesome! I love this roundup…I would love a bowl of each to carry me through the week. Thank you for including me in this amazing group.
It would be fun to host a soup swap wouldn’t it?! Would love to try everyone’s favorite soups. Your soup is gorgeous!
I am such an insane-o soup fanatic lately…in fact I just posted one today! And I am so happy to have all this soup inspiration in one place! Can’t wait to check out your pinterest board!
Joanne – just popped over to see your soup, beautiful and healthy! Added it to my pinterest board!
yum! These look so wonderful!
Such a wonderful round up of soups!! And now I need a giant soup buffet because I want them all!
Thanks so much for including mine Jeanette! 🙂
Love your gorgeous Sweet Potato Coconut Curry Soup! I have a kabocha squash sitting on my counter…I think it’s going to sub for sweet potato in this soup recipe.
I am saving this – and want to work my way through them. I make soup at least twice a week in the winter. Not just because it’s healthy – it can often be made ahead of time and accommodate everyone’s schedule – and soothe the winter beast.
A delicious soup roundup! I love both chestnut soup and red pepper soup.
Ooh chestnut soup sounds so smooth and comforting!
i love soups sooo much but rarely have the patience to make it…. hahaha. i’m so hungry usually that i need to eat within 15 minutes. this soup recipes look fabulous!
Haha Junia! Just think if you make a big batch, you can eat it for a week in just 5 minutes, all you have to do is rewarm it.
I could eat a bowl of soup every day! Thanks for including my pea soup. 🙂
Great round-up, Jeanette. I just retweeted it!
Sylvie – isn’t soup the best?! Your pea soup is stunning!!
Thanks Carolyn – and I love your Cumin Lentil Barley Soup!
I would be more than happy to eat soup every day of the week. There are some fantastic recipes in this list!
Me too – wish we could do a soup swap, then we could all have a freezer full of beautiful soups to enjoy throughout the winter!
All the soups look delicious and perfect this time of year.
Ahhh definitely the best season to share soup! I’d love a summer edition of this! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to start cookin’ them up!
Hi Jeanette,
Soup, soup, soup….the perfect thing to satisfy the soul and the stomach. All types of soup are good in my book, BTW, I do have a soup that has been a favorite on my blog–it’s my sallmon paprika soup.
What an amazing round up. If you were hoping to inspire us into making more soup, mission accomplished!
What an awesome collection of recipes!! I’m honored to be a part. 🙂
Thanks Sommer – your roasted red pepper soup is gorgeous!
So many wonderful soups Jeanette! I would love to try each and every one of them 🙂
All these soups look so delicious and hearty–what a great roudup. The creamy roasted cauliflower chestnut soup looks so thick!
