10 Soup and Stew Recipes to Soothe Your Soul

Soups and stews are the ultimate all-around comfort food: They can be as creamy as mac n’ cheese, as hearty as roast beef, or as light and refreshing as a pasta salad. They can even be cold or hot, depending on the season (though you won’t find any gazpacho in this particular list). Whenever the weather turns cool or it’s a brisk and rainy day, soup is the perfect soul-warming dish to help you chase the chill away.

If you’re used to soup from a can or box, you’re in for a treat! These ten soup and stew recipes will help you create a cozy lunch or dinner from scratch using real ingredients and your favorite Primal Kitchen products, especially our pure avocado oil. Sip, slurp, and savor our mouthwatering soup recipes and serve with your favorite crackers or gluten-free bread for a hearty dish that satisfies in any season.   

Easy Pumpkin Soup

You’ll be stunned at how delicious this easy 3-ingredient recipe turns out! Just grab that lone unused can of pumpkin puree from your cupboard and combine it with bone broth and a jar of our velvety Alfredo Sauce for an easy-peasy, fresh and breezy dish that you can toss together in no time at all.

Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

Chicken and dumplings from scratch? Yes, please! This flexible recipe gives you two options to choose from: either break out your Instant Pot and get a whole chicken cooking, or take the shorter route and start with premade chicken broth to have a steaming bowl of this hearty, heartwarming classic on the table in just 30 minutes.  

Instant Pot Beef Stew

The secret to the savory flavor of this “set it and forget it” recipe is searing your chuck roast with a little Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil before you cook the stew. Luckily, you can do everything right in your Instant Pot, so once you prep your meat and dice your veg, you’re just one step away from a piping hot meal the whole family will love.

Bone Broth

When the snow is falling or the wind is chilling you to the bone, there’s no better time to break out a cup of this basic bone broth. Whether you’re sipping it as a weekday snack or using it as the base of another dish, this simple recipe for bone broth is a great way to set you up for success in the cooler months.

Coconut Ginger Pork

Though this Instant Pot recipe doesn’t have “soup” in the name, make no mistake—it definitely falls into the spoonable category. The well-spiced broth doubles or even triples during cooking thanks to all those delicious natural pork juices, resulting in a savory stew with aromatic hints of ginger, garlic, and cumin.   

White Chicken Chili

Chili in 20 minutes? It’s totally possible with the help of this easy recipe that marries savory shredded chicken with white beans and a burst of zesty flavor from our Cilantro Lime Dressing & Marinade. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and serve with grain-free tortilla chips for a full meal that satisfies your cozy cravings.

Beef Chili Without Beans

For those skipping legumes, or who prefer their chili with a meatier bite, this keto-friendly chili recipe is where it’s at. Our unique recipe gets its crave-worthy taste from a sauce that combines the peppery zing of our Spicy Ketchup with the sweet and slightly bitter notes of dark chocolate. 

Chicken Zoodle Pho

Our twist on the signature Vietnamese soup is the kind of veggie-heavy winter recipe that makes you feel good mentally and physically. We subbed spiralized veggie noodles for the real thing, but you can always substitute rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti if you’re craving that savory,  slurp-inducing feel that only pasta can give. 

Air Fryer Sesame Ginger Meatball Soup

We didn’t even know cooking soup in an air fryer was possible until we whipped up this Asian-inspired recipe. The trick is sealing everything tightly in a foil packet so the liquid seeping from the veggies mingles with our savory Sesame Ginger Dressing to form a broth—but even if a little leaks out, you can simply add extra broth at the end.

Sweet Potato Soup with Collagen

The ultimate jack-of-all-trades, sweet potatoes can be the star of everything from stews and sides to fries and pies. Here, they’re roasted and blended with butternut squash, leeks, and Collagen Peptides to create a delicious dish that warms you from the inside out.
