High-Protein Lemon & Turmeric Chicken Soup

This lemon and turmeric chicken soup is comforting and packed with protein. Turmeric, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, gives the soup its vibrant yellow hue. It’s the perfect meal for when you’re sick or simply warming up on a chilly day. We love tender-crisp baby kale, but chopped kale or baby spinach can be used in its place.

This Chicken Tortellini Soup will make over your weeknights. This hearty soup combines tender rotisserie chicken, pillowy tortellini and plenty of veggies for a comforting meal that’s quick, healthy and satisfying. We love the convenience of baby spinach and frozen peas, but any chopped green or another legume like no-salt-added white beans or shelled edamame would work well in place of the frozen peas if you prefer.

Chicken Paprikash Soup

This hearty soup takes inspiration from Hungarian chicken paprikash, with a creamy, paprika-flavored broth studded with tomatoes, bell pepper and chicken. We like tender, flavorful chicken thighs, but chicken breast will work too. If you don’t have hot paprika, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.

This chicken Parmesan soup combines the rich flavors of a traditional chicken Parm—juicy seasoned chicken, tangy marinara sauce and savory Parmesan cheese—with the warmth and comfort of a soup. It’s a perfect dish for those chilly days when you crave something familiar with a fun, innovative twist! We love the punchy burst of flavor that Parmesan crisps offer as a garnish, but feel free to add freshly grated Parmesan in their place.

Slow-Cooker Spinach & Artichoke Chicken Soup

If you love spinach and artichokes, this is the perfect soup for you. The creamy base is packed with veggies and shredded chicken, which soaks up the broth while adding a boost of protein.

One-Pot Chicken & Rice Soup

This chicken and rice soup is the epitome of cozy vibes in a bowl, with dried tarragon stealing the show. Dried tarragon has a more muted flavor than fresh, providing a mellow flavor that complements the other ingredients beautifully. Instant brown rice is a massive timesaver. To cut down even further on prep time, look for pre-chopped mirepoix (carrots, onions and celery) in the produce aisle where prepped vegetables are sold.
