Open in Pepper →A Pot Of Soup Fixes The Week
Soup is the meal you can start with one onion and whatever's in the fridge, and it stretches. One big pot feeds everybody, and the leftovers taste better the next day at lunch.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on cold nights, on nights when nobody agrees on dinner, and on mornings when they want the crock pot doing the work by five o'clock.
Every recipe here is a full pot of something warm: loaded potato soup, creamy tomato tortellini soup, broccoli cheddar, bacon cheeseburger soup, lasagna soup, stuffed bell pepper soup, two takes on chicken gnocchi, and a crock pot chicken tortilla soup.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cook the onion first
Sweat diced onion in butter or oil for 5 to 7 minutes before anything else goes in. It's the difference between flat broth and soup that tastes like it simmered all day.
- 2
Cut potatoes the same size
Chop Yukon golds into even 1-inch pieces so they finish together, about 15 to 20 minutes on the stove or 6 hours on low in the crock pot.
- 3
Add dairy off the heat
Stir in cream, sour cream, or shredded cheese after you turn the burner down or off. Boiling dairy will curdle it and make the soup grainy.
- 4
Hold the pasta back
Drop tortellini, gnocchi, or noodles in during the last 5 to 10 minutes so they don't turn to mush, especially if you plan on leftovers.
