Each of these recipes can be on your table in 45 minutes or less. Easily whip up a comforting bowl, no matter how busy your weeknight is. 01 of 19 Rosemary and Ravioli Chicken Soup View Recipe Andy Lyons Chicken noodle soup gets a veggie-filled upgrade when you replace plain noodles with spinach ravioli and stir in fresh green beans. To make this meal extra fast, start with packaged ravioli and a roasted chicken from the grocery store. Then just simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until this fresh fall soup is ready. 02 of 19 Fresh Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons View Recipe Jason Donnelly No more canned tomato soup for you. With six medium tomatoes, a handful of ingredients, and 30 minutes, you can make your own bowl of fresh tomato soup goodness. All you're missing is a gooey grilled cheese on the side. 03 of 19 Confetti Chicken Big Bowl View Recipe Jason Donnelly Make an entire meal in your Dutch oven with this easy chicken stew recipe. Broccoli, carrots, and snow peas bulk up this bright and colorful stew while a double packet of ramen noodles makes it hearty enough to enjoy all on its own. Your ramen game just got better! Buy It: Lodge Dutch Oven ($80, Target) 04 of 19 Fast Shrimp Bisque View Recipe Andy Lyons The heaping teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning that go into this fast and fresh seafood bisque are enough to make any Marylander proud. This satisfying seafood dinner comes together in just 25 minutes but tastes like it's been simmering all day. Whether you use fresh or frozen shrimp (we recommend fresh!), make sure not to skimp on the anchovy paste. Buy It: McCormick Old Bay Seasoning ($4, Target) 05 of 19 Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup View Recipe Brie Passano Nothing tastes better than a bowl of chicken soup—especially when it only takes 40 minutes to make. Fresh shallots and asparagus make each bite burst with flavor, but it's the shredded cheese and diced ham that make this quick chicken soup sing. A dollop of Dijon mustard stirred in just before finished gives this hearty soup a tangy finish. 06 of 19 Butternut Squash Soup with Ravioli View Recipe Andy Lyons The best fall soups and stews are ready right as the chill sets in. When the weather gets chilly, our favorite way to warm up is a piping hot bowl of fresh butternut squash soup. You can make this fresh soup a little heartier by adding cheese ravioli, and you can pump up the winter flavors with a drizzle of molasses on top. 07 of 19 Broccoli-Cheese Soup View Recipe Andy Lyons There's not much better than a comforting bowl of broccoli-cheese soup on a chilly day. Except maybe a fresh broccoli-cheese soup that's ready in just 25 minutes! The bread bowls are optional in this fast broccoli-cheese soup recipe, but the extra cheese sprinkled on top is something your dinner guests won't want to miss. 08 of 19 Italian Spinach Soup View Recipe Andy Lyons You can serve up a bright green bowl of spinach tonight, but it's not a salad we're craving. It's soup. Over a pound of fresh spinach gives this soup its signature color, while Italian seasoning and garlic add an Italian-inspired flair. 09 of 19 Tuscan Bean Soup View Recipe Karla Conrad Italian seasoning is the secret to developing Tuscan flavors in this bowl of cannellini beans, carrots, and spinach. To guarantee this soup is ready to eat in 20 minutes, start with packaged baby carrots and spinach. Unlike many fresh soup recipes, this soup freezes well (up to 3 months), so make a double batch to eat some and freeze some for a later date. 10 of 19 Fresh Corn and Chicken Chowder View Recipe Andy Lyons When we think of chowder, we don't usually picture fresh ingredients. This fresh corn chowder recipe, however, is an exception. Loaded with four full ears of sweet corn, it still has all the creamy richness we love—and the best part is it's done in just 30 minutes. 11 of 19 Curried Vegetable Soup View Recipe Andy Lyons Wave goodbye to blah and boring canned vegetable soups. A scoop of curry powder gives the cauliflower and baby peas in this recipe much more heat and flavor. This fresh vegetable soup is vegan friendly with its creamy coconut milk base. 12 of 19 Healthy Minestrone View Recipe Andy Lyons Most veggie-loaded minestrones are a relatively healthy choice, but this fresh and fast soup recipe goes a step further and keeps the sodium low. Cannellini beans add protein to this zucchini, carrot, and Swiss chard soup. Sprinkle bowls with a pinch of fresh oregano for the perfect finishing touch. 13 of 19 Creamy Potato and Asparagus Soup View Recipe Andy Lyons Fresh asparagus soup gets a little extra creamy when it's blended with potatoes and evaporated milk. If you're missing the meat in this veggie-centric soup, top each bowl with crumbles of crispy bacon. Other toppings that make this soup stand out include fresh parsley, lemon peel, or freshly ground pepper. 14 of 19 Broccoli-Potato Soup with Greens View Recipe Andy Lyons Fall soups and stews should be hearty and quick to satisfy. This fresh broccoli soup recipe is both. You can't make dinner much faster than this 13-minute broccoli and potato recipe. If 3 cups of broccoli aren't enough veggies for you, include another 2 cups of winter greens. 15 of 19 Spring Chicken Stew View Recipe Andy Lyons Nothing tastes better than a bowl of chicken stew—especially when it only takes seven ingredients and 30 minutes to make. Fresh carrots and bok choy make each bite taste like spring (no matter what season you serve this soup in). 16 of 19 Garden Greens and Mushroom Soup View Recipe Blaine Moats Soup or salad? This fresh mushroom soup recipe turns your favorite salad greens into a creamy, craveable soup. A trio of fresh greens (spinach, arugula, and parsley) are the stars of this recipe, while potatoes and sautéed mushrooms add heartiness. 17 of 19 Fresh Corn Soup View Recipe Andy Lyons Fresh market soups are a standout in the kitchen, and this fast and fresh corn soup is as fresh as it gets. A pinch of grated nutmeg spices up this sweet soup, made from farm-fresh corn, sweet onions, and milk. Add fresh kernels on top of individual bowls for added texture and picture-perfect presentation. 18 of 19 Soba Noodle Bowl View Recipe Andy Lyons Infuse plain chicken noodle soup with Asian-inspired flavors by adding soy sauce to your usual chicken broth. Carrots, sugar snap peas, and a jalapeño pepper keep their crunch in this satisfying soup. Using soba noodles provides a nice break from regular pasta in this fresh chicken noodle soup recipe. 19 of 19 Pea Soup View Recipe Quentin Bacon Leeks and onions and peas, oh my! The freshness of this soup is just unreal. The créme fraiche is whisked in just before this fresh pea soup is done (just 8 minutes of cooking time!), and then it's just a sprinkle of freshly chopped chives and this soup is ready for slurping a spoonful at a time.
