5-Ingredient Soups

A soup can make a full meal. A solid supper. A really satisfying snack on the run. A knock-out starter.

One of my favorite meals is two soups. Just get out your second slow cooker—and 5 different ingredients—and you’ll soon have a choice of soups to match your mood.

You’ve worked an eternally long day. The kids are fussy. What could be easier than soup? Make it ahead and you’ve got a deposit in the bank.

Who can resist Toscano Soup, Creamy Corn and Turkey Soup, Shrimp Soup/Chowder (you choose which consistency you want), and Potato Soup with Possibilities (customize your own).

These 50 recipes are not demanding. But they pay off solidly.

Remember—no more than 5 ingredients each!
