    "I've tried much more "complex" French onion soup recipes that took me all day to make that didn't taste anywhere near as good as THIS recipe. It's so easy and quick to make. I finally don't have to order Panera every time I feel like French onion soup!" —Tana

  • Creamy Celery Soup

    16 Five-Star Soup Recipes Our Readers Love (9)

    "This is ridiculously good. When I was younger, my guilty pleasure was canned cream of celery soup. This recipe exceeded expectations. I puréed in a blender to get it velvety smooth - the way I like it. Afterwards I stirred in a good amount of 35% cream, then added the braised celery. Delicious!" —Mattedcat

  • White Bean and Ham Soup

    16 Five-Star Soup Recipes Our Readers Love (13)

    "This is, quite literally, the best soup I’ve ever made. I’ve used this recipe as written (using shanks unless I can’t find them, and then I’ll use hocks and throw in some diced ham at the end) for years and it’s never not been delicious! I just wish I had a bigger pot so that I could make a double batch! Served with crusty bread for dipping, this is the perfect cold-weather dinner." —Sandra
