1Caprese Chicken Gnocchi Soup
PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: BARRETT WASHBURNE Caprese salad is one of those timeless flavor combos that we can’t get enough of. Juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and sweet, earthy basil also happen to make a great match for a warm and satisfying soup. To get this soup to its full texture potential, we added pillowy soft gnocchi and crispy croutons. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze, and you’ll be a spoon away from soup heaven. And the best part is it comes together in just an hour. Gno’ kidding, this soup is insanely good.

2Avocado Soup

Somewhere between the cool freshness of gazpacho and the savory richness of guacamole, this soup is equally great chilled or served at room temperature. Here, the traditional chicken stock gets swapped for the vegetable variety for a vegetarian soup, and you can easily grab a non-dairy cream substitute to make it fully vegan too!

4Carrot Ginger Soup
PHOTO: Erik Bernstein; FOOD STYLING: Simon Andrews This is a recipe we come back to again and again: Canned coconut milk makes it super-creamy and rich, and just a tablespoon of fish sauce adds depth and makes this soup feel that much more special.

5Spicy Tomato Cheddar Soup
JULIA GARTLAND There’s no better combo than grilled cheese and tomato soup—and this new spin on the classic pairing may just be the tastiest way to enjoy them. A deconstructed "grilled cheese" in the form of crispy homemade croutons and shredded cheese floats atop sweet-spicy tomato-cheddar soup. The end result is creamy, blended goodness that’ll have you going back for seconds... and thirds...

7Cream of Asparagus Soup
ETHAN CALABRESE We marry asparagus with a touch of butter and some garlic to soften the grassy notes, simmer it with broth until tender, then blend it until smooth with a healthy dose of cream. What results is a beautiful, soothing green soup that's rich enough to be a light meal or a satisfying appetizer that can be served hot or cold.

PHOTO: JOEL GOLDBERG; FOOD STYLING: HADLEY SUI While most green goddess salad dressings rely on mayonnaise and one to two herbs for their creaminess and pale green color, we achieve the same flavor profile by using kale, cauliflower, four different herbs, and just a touch of Greek yogurt. The result? A vibrant green soup that’s pretty much a garden in a bowl.

12Chickpea Noodle Soup
ERIK BERNSTEIN An incredible vegan version of chicken noodle soup. Cooking the pasta in the soup will yield a velvety, substantial broth, but for a leftover-friendly version, boil the noodles separately so they don’t bloat in the broth over time.

14Gazpacho
Park Feierbach When early tomatoes start showing up, we can't resist making this chilled soup. Since tomatoes have varying amounts of sweetness and acidity at different times of year, start low with the vinegar amount and adjust to taste.
