Soup up! Here are 10 really easy soup recipes for you. You can thank me later...

Soup is one of the easiest and most forgiving things you can possibly cook. Plus you gotta love that the broth-based stuff keeps beautifully in your freezer and seems to improve over time, even if that’s only overnight before reheating it to enjoy for a comforting lunch at work the next day. :)

Each of the following recipes serves four and follows the same can't-screw-it-up directions:

1. Cook your aromatics in 1 tablespoon healthy oil (such as olive or canola) until softened.

2. Add remaining ingredients except garnishes. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

3. If appropriate, puree in a blender until soup is smooth and creamy.

4. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add garnishes as desired.
