When the weather takes a turn for the sub-zero sometimes the only that hits right is a bowl of hot soup. While a quick canned soup can hit the spot in a pinch, if you want to avoid excess sodium, having a few great soup recipes in your back pocket is essential. If you plan ahead, using your slow cooker or Instant-Pot can result in an easy, healthy soup after a few hours. But what if you want something right now?

We’ve gathered together a bunch of healthy soup recipes that take 15 minutes or less so you can warm up in no time at all. First, here are some of the staple ingredients you should have on hand to make these recipes. The most obvious is a good stock, which you can make and freeze yourself or buy (as long as it’s an organic canned or boxed brand that’s low in sodium). You should also have organic beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, and some small, quick-cooking pasta shapes or noodles, plus a variety of spices. Finally, soy sauce, sesame oil, or miso can add a ton of flavor, and your favorite frozen vegetables can make any soup both healthy and filling. Now, you’re good to go!
