To me, there is nothing more soul-warming than a Bowl of Brothy Soup on cold winter nights- especially when feeling under the weather. So very healing! Not only are these cold-weather soups comforting and nourishing, they are also very hydrating to the body. In ayurvedic medicine, it is believed that consuming “watery” foods like soups or salads at night, helps promote good digestion in the morning.
Here are our 20 Best Broth-Based Soup Recipes to nourish, comfort and heal. Many contain powerful immune-boosting ingredients like garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric, herbs, and citrus, with a good selection of vegan and keto options (be sure to click to the recipe notes for adaptations). Many are made with chicken broth or vegetable Broth.
I hope these broth-based soups help bring you a little warmth, comfort and healing this fall and winter season! Please let me know your favorites in the comments below!

Hi Sylvia,
Some of the recipes in this list only link to an image and not to the actual recipe?
and I’m hungry just looking at the pictures.
Alex, sorry about that… I will fix the photos– and there are links below.
the link for the LEMONGRASS COCONUT BROTH WITH COD AND SPINACH just takes me to a picture of the soup, not to the recipe.
I just fixed it….sorry about that!
All of these soups look delightful! I cannot wait to try some of them. That instant pot tortilla soup is high on my priority list!
Aww thanks Ashely…..love what you are doing over on your blog!
Hi Sylvia. Happy New Year! I love your website! Have made a couple of the recipes (a new viewer) and they really hit the spot. I would like to print more of them to make, but I am not able to get them to do that. Some will and some won’t. Was hoping you had tips or hints on why that is and how to solve that. No need to address this while you are on vacation, please let it wait until you get back. Thanks, Chloe
Hey Chloe, if you happen to remember which ones haven’t printed I will try to fix them. 🙂 I switched recipe plug-ins- but majority of them are still on the old version. Playing catch up!!!
Ok I found them and fixed them…sorry about that!!!
Thanks for the many soup choices. I’m a personal chef in in north San Diego county. And offer my services through doctors. You healthy soups are fantastic. When changing an eating regime for health’s sake can be a very tasty experience And the patient/client is happy being on a delicious ride back to health. Thanks so much.
