Other than a still-warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven, is there any winter comfort food that hits the spot more on a cold day than a steaming bowl of soup or a rich and hearty stew? These are meals that truly warm you from the inside out, and soups and stews are a mainstay of our diets throught this chilly time of year.
But ramen and canned soup get a little old after awhile. And nothing beats the smell of a homemade soup simmering away on the stove top. Luckily, Martha Stewart’s best soup and stew recipes offer something for everyone. From a quick 15 minute lentil soup, to all-day slow cooker soups and even some fancy seafood stews that are totally company-worthy, Martha Stewart has you covered.
The fact that they’re mostly one-pot recipes just sweetens the deal. You can spend your post-soup time cuddled up on the couch watching the snow fall outside (or a 4-hour yule log video on YouTube) instead of doing the dishes. Total win, right?
Check out Martha Stewart’s best soups and stews below, and get ready to put your favorite soup pot to work after you get inspired.
Potato, Broccoli, and Cheddar Soup
This creamy, kid-friendly broccoli soup is loaded with flavor thanks to the white cheddar cheese, and a garnish of roasted broccoli might even turn skeptics into broccoli lovers.

Slow-Cooker Shrimp, Sausage, and Okra Stew
For that cooked all day flavor without having to constantly stir, you can’t beat the slow cooker. As this stew simmers, the broth is infused with smoked sausage flavor, and the shrimp are added 30 minutes before serving so they don’t get overcooked.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup
You can use any type of winter squash in this smooth roasted pumpkin soup recipe — we like a combination of kabocha squash and sugar pumpkin for the best texture and sweetest flavor.

Slow-Cooker Chicken with 20 Cloves of Garlic
This brothy braised chicken dish is definitely closer to stew than soup, but you’ll want to serve it in a bowl so you can spoon the garlicky, lemony sauce right into your mouth.
