65 Best Curry, Chili, and Soup Recipes (1)

Do you know what is the best thing about soup? Once you gather all of the ingredients, it cooks itself. Along with everyone else, we’ve been staying safe by staying home these days. That means that we’re cooking even more than we already were. It’s a lot of work. Shout out to all of you cooking three meals a day for your families. It’s not easy but you are hanging in there!

We’re here to make it easier for all of you. One of my secrets to meal prep, when I was working in an office and I was making almost all of my meals for the entire week on Sundays, was to make a soup recipe every single week. They are easy to make, super delicious, and budget-friendly recipes that check all the boxes! While chili and curry are their own food categories, we consider them part of the same family so we included them in this mega roundup.

We went big with this roundup so that you have options. We know you are minimizing your grocery trips, utilizing pantry staples, and trying to stay on budget. Having a variety of options makes it so much easier in the kitchen and our lives as we figure out this new (hopefully temporary) normal.

These easy soup recipes include all of our favorite recipes, vegetarian soup recipes, slow cooker soups, Instant Pot soup recipes and then all of the best chili recipes and curry recipes. Truly, it’s an amazing roundup that you’ll go back to time and time again.
