Stay warm and cozy with these quick vegetarian soup recipes that you can whip up in 30 minutes. While a soup made in a half hour is something to cheer about, some soups on this list take even less—only 5 to 10 minutes. In addition, a lot of the soups can be made ahead or have shortcuts that streamline the process even further, like using a boxed puree as a base and adding a few simple ingredients and spices.
These flavorful soups run the gamut from minestrone to creamy vegetable soups. Any of them would make a healthy, comforting dinner with a salad or a piece of crusty bread on the side. Recipes like our Pumpkin & Black Bean Soup and Instant Pot Vegetable Soup are so delicious that you'll want to make them every night of the week. You may even want to cook up a double batch.
