Craving delicious soups for a colder day? This cosy soup recipes collection pulls together some of our absolute favourites, the bowls we reach for when the wind’s howling and you want something that warms your belly and properly nourishes the soul. From silky classics to chunky, spoon-standing beauties, they’re all perfect for blustery evenings and easy midweek dinners. Plus with a few toppings (I love my toppings) soups can be a really impressive dish in themselves.
Nicky’s Notes
I’m utterly obsessed with soups, but it’s the toppings that make me giddy, crowning each steamy bowl with something crunchy, creamy or herby for that little bit of magic.
In this roundup you’ll find cosy creamy classics, hearty chunky veg and chicken soups, a few spiced bowls for when you fancy a kick, plus my favourite topping ideas to make each one feel a bit special.

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup (US style)
Creamy chicken noodle soup with tender chicken, pasta, carrots & potatoes in a light, creamy broth. Made with rotisserie chicken.
My broccoli cheese soup is a delicious blend of tender broccoli, rich cheddar, and creamy perfection, with just the right balance of savoury depth and a comforting cheesy indulgence.
This slow cooker chicken and vegetable soup is a great way to make a tasty, nutritious meal using inexpensive cuts of meat. Simple, hearty comfort food. I love to serve it with a big wedge of fresh bread
A creamy, comforting and filling dinner. This chicken and rice soup, finished with lemon and parmesan, is a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken. A small amount of rice goes a long way!
This nutritious slow cooker lentil soup is packed with vegetables and creamy red lentils. I love to top it off with some crispy tortilla strips to add a bit of crunch too.
