Naturally, we must kick off our soup journey with an all-time classic: chicken soup. My Mom’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup holds a special place in my heart, undeniably my number one comfort food. It was one of the very first recipes I ever shared on this blog, and while the original photos might show their age (every time I make it, I plan to re-shoot, but I just end up devouring it instead – LOL!), the flavor remains timeless. Beyond that beloved classic, I love exploring interesting twists on chicken noodle soup, and have included several other delightful ways to enjoy chicken soup right here on the blog.
Unordinary Chicken Soups
Chicken soup is a universal comfort food, but why stick to the ordinary? This selection presents unique and exciting variations that elevate the classic. From zesty, herbaceous takes to creamy, hearty versions, these recipes transform chicken soup into an adventure for your taste buds. Perfect for a cozy night in or when you need a little something extra to brighten your day.
- Italian Chicken Noodle Soup – A flavorful twist featuring Italian spices, thick egg noodles, and fresh basil.

Moving on to another foundational comfort food: vegetable soup. My sister-in-law, Karen, had a magical touch with vegetable beef soup. I remember asking her for the recipe, and she’d simply say she just “tossed stuff in the pot.” She truly cooked from the heart, and that unique technique unfortunately left with her when she passed away in 2005. To this day, every bowl of vegetable beef soup I enjoy brings back fond memories of her and her incredible cooking.
My second cherished vegetable soup recipe comes from my Grandma Czaplewski – her delightful hamburger soup. You’ll find the recipe for it here, a true family heirloom. While she typically didn’t add noodles, I sometimes do, especially when I’m craving a taste of my childhood. My favorite canned soup as a kid was Campbell’s Noodles & Ground Beef, which was discontinued years ago. Adding Kluski noodles to Grandma’s Hamburger Vegetable Soup is the closest I’ve come to replicating that nostalgic flavor! Fun fact: My Hamburger Noodle Soup recipe was even featured on The Today Show’s food website a couple of years back!
