"I've tried much more "complex" French onion soup recipes that took me all day to make that didn't taste anywhere near as good as THIS recipe. It's so easy and quick to make. I finally don't have to order Panera every time I feel like French onion soup!" —Tana

Hawaiian Oxtail Soup
"My husband made this soup... oh it was delicious! He's from Hawaii and when we travel there we enjoy it so much. Haven't traveled much since March. He decided to make this and it is so authentic and is considered comfort food! Delicious!" —Vicky

Creamy Celery Soup
"This is ridiculously good. When I was younger, my guilty pleasure was canned cream of celery soup. This recipe exceeded expectations. I puréed in a blender to get it velvety smooth - the way I like it. Afterwards I stirred in a good amount of 35% cream, then added the braised celery. Delicious!" —Mattedcat

Black Bean Soup
"This recipe was an A+. The sweet flavor from the molasses and the addition of sweet potato made the recipe unique and mouthwatering. My three teenage boys all had 2-3 bowls." —Melissa

"I've probably made this 50 times. My kids love it. I make one change, I usually add peas or corn at the end." —Kristina

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup

White Bean and Ham Soup
"This is, quite literally, the best soup I’ve ever made. I’ve used this recipe as written (using shanks unless I can’t find them, and then I’ll use hocks and throw in some diced ham at the end) for years and it’s never not been delicious! I just wish I had a bigger pot so that I could make a double batch! Served with crusty bread for dipping, this is the perfect cold-weather dinner." —Sandra

Mandu Guk (Korean Dumpling Soup)
"Delicious! I actually ate a 1/2 cup later that evening for a snack instead of dessert. High praise from me. This first attempt, I used frozen gyoza dumplings I had on hand but am gearing up to try making homemade Mandu dumplings for Lunar New Year. Thank you for a great recipe!" —Amy

Creamy Tortellini Soup with Sausage and Spinach
"Wow, this is my first time making any kind of tortellini and it was delicious! I'm definitely copying this recipe down for my recipe box. I didn't have any mushrooms but I did have a zucchini in the fridge so I used that as a veggie instead." —Abigail
