Perfect for everyone to get plant-based protein, loads of fiber, and tons of micronutrients! I always recommend adding extra beans because it's 2026 and we are fiber MAXXXXING, ladies!

This has been my simple go-to lately and HELLOOOO Blue Zone cooking!ย 

The ingredients are SO simple and packed with flavor! You most likely already have everything in your pantry and refrigerator.

I like to alternate between cabbage and kale depending what I have on hand.

Depending on your prep time, the soup comes together in about an hour.ย

This soup is so hearty, tasty and comes together in just under 30 minutes!

Packed with protein from chickpeas (garbanzos) and full of flavor from coconut milk, sundried tomatoes, garlic and onions.

The recipe does call for some blending - using an immersion blender is easiest, but a regular blender works just as great!

Enjoy this delicious creamy soup without dairy.

This vegan white bean mushroom stew is rich, creamy, and packed with savory flavor. Itโ€™s a hearty, comforting meal that uses simple ingredients and super easy to cook!

Go crazy with whatever mushrooms you like - there is no right or wrong. Sometimes I do all cremini, and other times I use tons of various types!ย 

Mushrooms are packed with vitamin D and great to eat during the cooler months when we start losing the sun.

Perfect for a chilly evening or a satisfying lunch ๐Ÿ„โ€๐ŸŸซ

I'm sure so many of you have seen this going viral on TikTok! This is a classic my mom used to make for us when we were kids.

The EASIEST and most comforting soup, especially when you're feeling under the weather ๐Ÿคง

Perfect for little picky eaters who don't like veggies, as they're all blended into the broth!

Using a high quality parmigiano reggiano truly brings this soup together in the best way possible. Grate it yourself if you can!

Sometimes I like to boil and keep the pastina separate from the broth to preserve the overall texture and โ€œsoup - eatingโ€ experience. 100000000/10

Who doesn't love the warming, robust flavors of a curry in the fall???

All of these ingredients can be easily found at your local grocery store.ย 

This curry is MILDLY spicy, due to the Thai Curry Paste (choose red, green or yellow) and the fresh grated ginger. Add some chilies if you like an extra kick!

Packed with protein and fiber from chickpeas (garbanzos), lentils and canned pumpkin puree.

This recipe comes together easily on the stove or a in a pressure cooker.

What is fall without a delicious vegetarian stew with hearty chunks of butternut squash?

I think I actually prefer butternut squash over pumpkin! It is so rich in vitamins and minerals with just a hint of sweetness.

This recipe is delicious, satisfying and super easy!

It calls for collard greens, but you could also substitute green cabbage, kale or spinach!

Fresh roasted tomatoes? Garlic and onion? Heavy cream or non-dairy alternative to make it extra creamy??

Say LESS!

Blend this soup with some navy or cannellini beans for an extra smack of protein and fiber!

And maybe treat yourself to a classic grilled cheese sandwich for dipping ๐Ÿ‘€

A nutrient-dense chicken soup!

This recipe is packed with a TON of extra vegetables that you won't find in a classic chicken soup recipe.ย 

Perfect to get all those vitamins and minerals to keep your immune system high during the weather changes.ย 

This recipe recommends adding a type of couscous, or you could add any kind of noodles, beans, or omit entirely!

This recipe is SO close to my grandma's OG beef stew (sadly I lost her recipe card ๐Ÿ˜ž)

BUT this one still SLAPS!

Melt-in-your-mouth chunks of beef, delicious tender, hearty vegetables, and a thick flavorful broth that will warm you from the heart out.

Definitely save this one for when it starts getting a bit more chilly out there!

An absolute classic! So comforting and nostalgic.

Simple ingredients that pack a punch of flavor. Get creative with your tortellini if you can find some fun seasonal flavors!

Opt for spicy Italian sausage if you prefer a little kick ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ

Sub plant-based sausage or seasoned, crumbled tofu for a vegetarian version.

Some aren't fans of the texture of the peas, but man oh man this is one of my all-time favorites!

Creamy and hearty. Full of rich flavor from the tender ham.

I like to dip crusty baguette slices into mine!

Feel free to omit the ham, or sub for smoked turkey leg if pork isn't your jam! You can even get real creative and used smoked/flavored tofu cubes!

Chili Cook-Off season is upon usโ€ฆ

Try this recipe out for BIG flavors with simple ingredients and smokey spices.

Comforting with a lil kick!

I personally like to use a high quality 80% lean/ 20% fat ground beef for the extra flavor. Feel free to use a leaner beef, or even ground turkey! Just be sure to add some extra oil to maintain its richness.

And I ALWAYS add extra beans!

For a vegetarian option, omit the meat entirely and add extra beans, use a plant-based ground โ€œbeefโ€, or spiced/crumbled tofu!
