"Red-skinned waxy potatoes aren't the best for a soup like this, because they tend to hold their shape, when in this soup you want a potato that will purée well." —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder

"This soup calls for 6 cups of stock. If you would like a thicker soup start with 5 cups and adjust from there." —Ariane Resnick, Simply Recipes Contributor

"Swap the all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch to make the soup gluten-free." —Sara Bir, Simply Recipes Editor

6. Lentil Soup

"To achieve a creamy consistency, I like to puree a little of the soup in the blender and add it back to the pot. Like most lentil soups, this one thickens as it sits. So, be prepared to add more water when you reheat it, or simply enjoy it as a stew." —Sally Vargas, Simply Recipes Contributor

7. Creamy Pumpkin Soup With Smoked Paprika

"This soup can be made with either a whole pumpkin that you prepare yourself or with canned pumpkin. Don't be intimidated by roasting your own pumpkin! It's easy and the flavor is more interesting than canned pumpkin." —Elise

"I like cheese tortellini in this soup, but you could absolutely use any favorite kind of tortellini. You could even skip the tortellini and go with a plain pasta instead. Farfalle makes a fun pasta shape for this soup!" —Emma Christensen, Simply Recipes General Manager

"Swap the lasagna noodles for any other shaped pasta, particularly those that have plenty of nooks and crannies for the creamy broth like rotini or farfalle." —Emma

11. Ham and Bean Soup

"I just add chicken stock and make it with the 15 dried bean mix. Gives this soup a great texture since some of the beans from the mix naturally blend and thicken the soup. Tastes even better as leftovers." —Kaley, Simply Recipes Reader

"If you can't locate any of the mushroom types indicated in the recipe, crimini (aka: baby bellas) will do just fine. Or, you can just leave them out all together." —Garrett McCord, Simply Recipes Contributor

15. Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

"If you don't do dairy, feel free to use another cup of stock instead of the milk and cream, or use coconut milk (canned) or soy milk instead of the regular milk and cream." —Elise
