Senior Editor, HuffPost Taste and Style Left to right: The Woks of Life, Half Baked Harvest, The Woks Of Life Soups so thick, your spoon'll stand up When it's chilly out, there's nothing better than a super-thick and creamy bowl of soup, and we've got just the recipes for you. Pictured above (left to right) are a Carrot Pea Soup with Pancetta, Basil and Mint, a Moroccan Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Soup and a 15-Minute Coconut Red Curry Soup -- but those are just the start. We've got 30 delicious choices, so grab a spoon! Healthy hack: The greenest soup on earth Ever wonder how to make cream of broccoli soup healthier? This trick will boost your nutrients AND create the most vibrant, verdant shade of green soup you've ever seen. - Sauté an onion with the chopped stalks of 2 heads of broccoli (not the florets -- reserve those for later!).
- Toss in 2 quarts of vegetable stock and a diced potato (it thickens the soup so you don't have to add cream) and let it simmer away for 30 minutes.
- When the stalks and potatoes are soft, whiz it all in a blender. The result is a dirty shade of white, which is totally unappetizing. Don't panic.
- Here's the trick: At this point, toss a few huge handfuls of fresh baby spinach into the blender. It transforms the soup into a shockingly bright shade of green. But don't return the soup back to the heat, or you'll lose that gorgeous color.
- To finish, steam and finely chop your broccoli florets, and mix them into the soup. Season it to taste, and you're done!
