I hope you love them as much as I do!
It may have been the best idea hes ever had (shhh, dont tell him).
Since Ive worked for EatingWell for almost 20 years (!

), I’ve developed, tested and tasted dozens of soup recipes over the years.
And these are the ones I actually make at home.
Slow-Cooker Spiced Lentil Soup with Vegetables
This soup was love at first bite.

Whenever we get a big enough bundle, I like to whip up a pot of this soup.
But one bite is all it took to become a believer.
Its creamy and cheesy and sprinkling chopped dill pickles or dill pickle relish on top is a pro move.
Classic Chicken Soup
Another go-to when someone in my house isnt feeling well is chicken noodle soup.
Sweet Potato-Peanut Bisque
This recipe is from a 30-minute soup story we ran inEatingWellmagazine in 2009.
Each soup was developed using a specific convenience product.
In the case of this recipe, its a surprising onetomato-vegetable juice blend.
It adds more flavor than canned tomato products would on their own.
I was so sad.
Luckily my daughter swapped meals with me halfway through dinner.
Now I make it at home with this recipe.
This recipe is no exception.
Its been a go-to for me ever since I tasted itand the recipe developerfeels the sametoo!
Its particularly good when theres a chill in the air.
But since I dont usually take the time to make chicken potpie, I love this soupified version.

I find that the flavor of sausage leaches into soups and stews during long stints in the slow cooker.
If we want a meatless meal, we have skipped the chorizo.
Ive also used chorizo pumfu, a tofu-like product thats made from pumpkin seeds.
The lemon juice adds a bright finish at the end!
And any sturdy green can be used in place of the chard.
Regardless of what you include, itll be hearty and delicious!

Its loosely based on a dish I had in Hawaii of braised chicken with lots and lots of ginger.
I thought the idea lent itself well to a soup.
We eat lots of dark leafy greens at home, so I included them as well.
