Vegetable Soup Recipes: Meatless Monday

carrot vegetable soup
Vegetable soup can either be one of the most boring, bland foods you?ll eat all winter, or a comforting, satisfying meal you?ll crave until the weather warms up. We?re going for the latter?and while simply having a decent soup recipe can go a long way (canned vegetable soup is pretty much a guaranteed dinner fail), having a great one will make you especially happy you put in the time and effort.

So for today?s Meatless Monday, we found 8 vegetable soup recipes ? some vegan, and some vegetarian?that incorporate everything from Kabocha squash to spinach and greens. Enjoy!
