Creamy Tomato Basil WW Soup

Out of all the cozy soups I make, this one hits different—it’s creamy, comforting, and packed with fresh basil. Perfect for a chilly night or a quick lunch prep.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for that rich base)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced (I like it finely chopped for a smoother texture)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best here—skip the jarred stuff)
• 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (I prefer San Marzano for their sweet flavor)
• 2 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium lets you control the salt)
• 1 cup heavy cream (room temp blends in better without curdling)
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (save a few for garnish—it makes it pop)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, but adds a nice kick)
• Salt and black pepper to taste (I start with 1/2 tsp salt and adjust later)

Instructions

1. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
2. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent and soft.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant—don’t let it brown.
4. Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, then add the dried oregano and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking.
6. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth (tip: if you don’t have one, let it cool slightly and blend in batches in a regular blender).
7. Return the pot to low heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated—heat for 3 minutes, but do not boil to avoid curdling.
8. Add the chopped fresh basil leaves and season with salt and black pepper, stirring for 1 minute to combine.
9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved basil leaves.

Unbelievably silky with a bright tomato tang, this soup gets its depth from that slow-simmered basil. Serve it with a crusty bread for dipping, or swirl in a dollop of pesto for an extra herby twist—it’s a weeknight winner that feels gourmet.

13. Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the rinsed black beans and frozen corn kernels.
14. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to heat the beans and corn through.
15. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
16. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the wedges.

Grab a spoon and dive into that brothy, chunky goodness—the tender chicken melts with each bite, while the beans and corn add a satisfying pop. Serve it with crunchy tortilla strips on top or a side of warm cornbread for the ultimate cozy meal. Leftovers? They taste even better the next day as the flavors deepen overnight.

10. Stir the soup and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, just until the kale has wilted.
11. Remove the pot from the heat.

– 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best—skip the jarred stuff!)

6. Remove the pot from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes, before blending to prevent splatters.
7. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth, or transfer to a countertop blender in batches if needed.
8. Whisk in ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt until fully incorporated for a creamy texture without curdling.
9. Season with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as desired—I add another pinch of sage here if using fresh.

Chicken Noodle WW Soup

Brace yourself for the ultimate comfort food glow-up. This Chicken Noodle WW Soup ditches the bland for bold flavor and satisfying texture, all while keeping things smart and simple. It’s the hug-in-a-bowl you’ve been craving.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for its fruity kick)
– 1 medium yellow onion, diced (the sweet kind works wonders)
– 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into coins (about 1 cup)
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is non-negotiable for me)
– 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 oz whole wheat egg noodles (I love the nutty chew they add)
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
– ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for that bright finish)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
2. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the carrots begin to soften.
3. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant—don’t let it brown!
4. Pour in 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat.
5. Carefully add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the boiling broth. Tip: For extra flavor, season the chicken lightly with salt before adding.
6. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and cook the chicken for 15 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
7. Remove the chicken with tongs and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred it using two forks.
8. While the chicken rests, add 4 oz whole wheat egg noodles, 1 tsp dried thyme, and ½ tsp black pepper to the simmering broth. Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are al dente. Tip: Taste the broth now and adjust seasoning if needed—the noodles will absorb some salt.
9. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley and simmer for 2 more minutes to warm through. Tip: For a richer broth, let the soup sit off the heat for 5 minutes before serving.

Hearty and wholesome, this soup delivers tender chicken and perfectly cooked noodles in a savory, herb-infused broth. The carrots and celery add a subtle sweetness that balances the thyme beautifully. Serve it with a crusty whole-grain roll for dipping, or top with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.

Split Pea and Ham WW Soup

OBSESSED with cozy soups? This split pea and ham number is your new winter BFF. It’s hearty, smoky, and so simple to throw together. Let’s get simmering.

Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for that fruity base note)
– 1 large yellow onion, diced (I always grab a sweet one for balance)
– 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
– 2 celery stalks, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best—skip the jarred stuff here)
– 1 pound dried green split peas, rinsed and picked over
– 1 meaty ham bone or 2 cups diced leftover ham (the smokier, the better!)
– 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth (trust me, low-sodium lets the ham shine)
– 2 bay leaves (fresh if you have them)
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Freshly ground black pepper (I go heavy on this)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
2. Add 1 large diced yellow onion, 2 diced carrots, and 2 diced celery stalks. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion turns translucent.
3. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant—don’t let it brown!
4. Pour in 1 pound rinsed split peas, 1 ham bone (or 2 cups diced ham), 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 2 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Tip: If using a ham bone, nestle it in so it’s mostly submerged.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce to a low simmer.
6. Cover the pot partially with a lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape. Simmer gently for 90 minutes, stirring every 20-30 minutes to prevent sticking on the bottom. Tip: The soup is ready when the split peas have completely broken down and thickened the broth.
7. Carefully remove the ham bone with tongs. Let it cool slightly on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
8. Shred any meat from the bone using two forks, discarding the bone and any fat. Stir the shredded meat back into the soup. Tip: If you used diced ham, simply skip the shredding step.
9. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust—remember the ham adds salt, so hold off on extra salt until the end.
10. Remove and discard the 2 bay leaves before serving.
Velvety and thick, this soup hugs you with its creamy pea texture and deep smoky ham flavor. Serve it with a crusty baguette for dipping, or get creative by topping it with a dollop of sour cream and crispy crumbled bacon for a next-level bowl.

Beef and Barley WW Soup

A hearty beef and barley soup that’s perfect for chilly nights—think tender chunks of beef, chewy barley, and a rich, savory broth that’ll warm you from the inside out. This WW-friendly version keeps it light without skimping on flavor, making it a go-to for cozy weeknights. Grab your Dutch oven and let’s get simmering.

Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

– 1.5 lbs chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes (I trim excess fat for a leaner soup)
– 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, my go-to for sautéing
– 1 large yellow onion, diced (sweet onions work great here)
– 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
– 3 celery stalks, chopped (use the inner stalks for tenderness)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is key—no jarred stuff!)
– 8 cups low-sodium beef broth (I swear by homemade stock if you have it)
– 1 cup pearl barley, rinsed (it adds a lovely chewy texture)
– 2 bay leaves
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– Salt and black pepper, to season as you go

Instructions

1. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
2. Pat the chuck roast cubes dry with paper towels—this helps them brown evenly—then season with salt and black pepper.
3. Add the beef to the pot in a single layer, working in batches if needed, and sear until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
4. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pot to avoid steaming the meat.
5. Reduce heat to medium and add the diced yellow onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom—that’s flavor gold!
8. Return the seared beef to the pot, then add the rinsed pearl barley, bay leaves, and dried thyme.
9. Tip: Rinsing the barley removes excess starch for a clearer broth.
10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
11. After 1 hour, check the beef—it should be fork-tender and the barley plump. Simmer uncovered for another 15–20 minutes if you prefer a thicker soup.
12. Tip: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper before serving.
13. Remove the bay leaves and discard.

Melt-in-your-mouth beef meets chewy barley in a deeply savory broth that’s both comforting and satisfying. Serve it piping hot with a crusty whole-grain bread for dipping, or ladle it over mashed potatoes for an extra-hearty twist. Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together.

– 3 cloves garlic, peeled (fresh is best, but pre-minced in a pinch)
