I love Winter because it's soup season. This is the best soup and an easy weeknight meal that's warm and comforting, just like my Tomato Basil Soup (One Pot) and my Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup (One Pot). My family simply can't get enough of them.

Tips and Techniques
- Use nonstick pot to prevent sticking and burning.
- Use low sodium broth and unsalted butter to prevent soup from becoming too salty.
- If you don't have vegetable broth, you can replace it with chicken broth.
- Adjust the amount of seasonings, based on your preference.
- Jarred roasted red peppers or homemade roasted red peppers can be used.
- Sriracha sauce is optional but highly recommended since it adds a subtle spicy kick. You can also replace it with ½ test red chili flakes OR even omit it altogether if you don't like spice.
- All-purpose flour yields the best results. Don't replace it with any other flour.
- If soup looks too thin at the end, cook without lid on medium heat until liquid is reduced and soup thickens to your desired consistency.
- If soup is too thick, thin it by adding some more broth or water at the end.
Recipe FAQs
This can be accomplished by the addition of Cream cheese, Heavy cream, Half and half, Whole milk, Sour cream, Cornstarch or Flour slurry.
