Whether warming your bones or fighting the flu, noodle soups make simple, yet sensational meals for all but the very warmest weather. A rich broth, hearty veggies, the meat/protein of your liking, and a variety of versatile noodle choices can come together to tickle your creative side, fill your belly, and warm your soul.
Spicy Asian classics, homestyle immune boosters, or adaptations of comfort food mainstays mean you can make soups in any style that catches your eye and appetite. Some noodle recipes are passed down and tinkered with through generations, while others have been assembled with modern comfort in mind.
Check out these seven super slurpers that will have you filling up your bowl again in no time.
1. Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
This Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup offers a velvety broth of warming spices, delectable pieces of chicken, and quality veggies that ramp up the spice bite. Make sure you have some genuine red curry paste on hand to really make the soup sing with spectacular Asian flavors. Once you’ve crafted this soup a few times, feel free to get experimental with the noodles or meat – a duck red curry soup is my idea of pure bliss!
2. Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
This Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup builds on principles from a traditional chicken noodle soup but does it in an addictive style all of its’ own. Dry ranch seasoning and lots of cheese take this super soup to another taste level, its rich creaminess will have the whole family clamoring for another bowl. My advice: always make a big batch, and save the leftovers for a rainy day!
3. One Pot Beef Stroganoff Soup
The traditional creamy, tangy beef stroganoff has plenty of elements that suit being made in soup form. This One Pot Beef Stroganoff Soup deftly comes together in only 30-40 minutes. Rich with the flavor of mushrooms, onions, and garlic, this is comfort food at its absolute coziest.
4. “Flu Fighter” Chicken Noodle Soup
The ultimate get well soon meal, the Flu Fighter Chicken Noodle Soup is chock full of all those bits and pieces that soothes your aches and pains to aid in the repair of your immune system. If you don’t have a special family recipe that’s been passed down since your gran’s youth, then I highly recommend this version. Not only that, you’ll want to eat it more often than just when you’re feeling terrible.
5. Italian Meatball Soup
Our Italian Meatball Soup makes your ‘gravy’ more exciting than just a collection of the usual suspects – herbs, tomatoes, meatballs, and pasta. This meatball recipe puts your faves in a flavorful tomato soup form your whole family will relish. It’s a refreshingly tasty meal and a lot lighter than Nonna’s Sunday lunch.
6. Cozy Chicken Parmesan Noodle Soup
Chicken Parmesan Noodle Soup really pushes the boundaries of even being called soup, but I’ve decided to include it because it tastes so delicious! Cheesy chicken and lots of veggies make this a bowl that soaks up all the broth until the noodles are brimming with a delicious flavor that you won’t want to stop eating.
7. Green Tea Chicken Noodle Soup
Why have just one flu-fighting option when you can combine two favorites into a delicious, innovative Green Tea Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s great-tasting and awesome for getting rid of toxins that can build up in your system. Brimming with good, healthy ingredients, this soup will have you brimming with energy, and you can mix and match a range of Asian noodle types to find the one you like the best.
Conclusion
While often deployed to fight colds and flu, noodle soups go beyond their curative qualities. Once you try some of these recipes you will want to keep them on your playlist for when you feel good and not so good.
