Yes, the weather outside is frightful! I’ve been seeing pictures of snow-covered yards and freezing temperatures. Thankfully Arizona isn’t too cold but since I’m spoiled with warm weather it is noticeably chilly. Besides staying indoors under a warm blanket, soups are my favorite way to warm up. Enjoy this collection of my favorite plant-based soups in no particular order.
Plant-Based & Gluten-Free Soups
Chickpea Noodle Soup is the perfect replacement for old-fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s warm, comforting and delicious. The Dry Veggie Broth Mix is the key to richness of the soup.
Enchilada Soup is a remake of an old family favorite that was full of unhealthy ingredients. This version is full of beans, grains and veggies and my favorite Mexican spices. This recipe is a great way to impress friends with a warm, healthy soup.
Taco Soup is similar to Enchilada Soup but leaves out the grains and relies on pantry staples. It is easy and delicious. Both the Taco Soup and the Enchilada Soup are extremely versatile, simply remove ingredients you don’t have and add ingredients that are available.
Slow Cooker Potato Soup is the easiest soup I make. You basically wash and cut a few veggies, add water and spices then wait. You can add more veggies and more seasoning if desired. This recipe is intentionally mild in flavor, perfect to taking to a friend.
Green Chili, Cilantro & Lime Soup is a slightly spicy soup with a complex flavor. The green chilies, cilantro, lime along with the Dry Veggie Broth Mix, create a perfectly balanced flavor that the rice and black beans compliment. If you like a South of the Border inspired flavor that isn’t tomato based then this recipe is for you.
Minestrone Soup is a classic vegetable soup that really hits the spot. I’ve served this at events and everyone wants more. It is a little labor intensive if you use fresh veggies but definitely worth it. I used gluten-free noodles so it would be gluten-free. Even though this is one of my earlier recipes I still keep coming back to it.

I just made the Dry Veggie Broth Mix and this mix is fantastic!! I made it exactly to your recipe, and just made a cup of broth to try alone, using your recommended ! Tbsp mix and 1 cup boiling water, and it is truly delicious. I can see this becoming a great winter snack just as is, and truly valuable as a soup and flavoring base. You are right, this is the closest I have come to a chicken-based stock since I became vegan. Thank you for this and so many of your other wonderful recipes.
This just made my day! Thank you! I just finished off my stash the Dry Veggie Broth Mix this weekend and need to make a new batch! This mix was life changing for me! 🙂
Holly I find myself wishing you lived next door so I could just come over and eat with you everyday!! I cant wait to try these out!! We love to have soup for lunches at my house so these are perfect!! I am going to share this one our FB page this week too becasue I think everyone loves some good soup recipes!
I love soup when it’s cold outside and even eat leftover soup for breakfast some days. If we lived next door to each other we could take turns cooking, that would be awesome!
