Soup Sunday - Le Chef's Wife (2024)

Eating better, one pot of homemade soup per week at a time.

Welcome to year 3 of the Soup Sunday Challenge!

I invite you to cook one pot of soup every week for 4 weeks.

I will provide you with lots of inspiration for delicious, healthy soups.

"Thank you so much for the Soup Sunday Challenge. I've made them all and learned so much. Really enjoyed following along. All the best to your beautiful family. XOXO"
Rosalie Hill Bland, Soup Sunday Challenge 2023

Are you looking to eat better in the New Year? Less convenience food, more whole foods? More vegetables and less processed food?

Perhaps, like me, you have a busy schedule but would like to make a small, lasting change to the way your family eats?

One of my favorite French-girl healthy eating tricks is to always have a pot of soup in the fridge – ready to reheat at a moment’s notice.

This New Year I have decided to become more consistent with my soup making. I realize that I eat much better throughout the week when I have a portion of comforting, delicious soup in the fridge I can reheat at a moment’s notice. Making soup is a great way to get my kids to eat extra vegetables too!

Here are the recipes we have cooked so far this year:

The Goal: Make one pot of soup every Sunday for 4 weeks.

Dates:January 6th-January 27th 2024

Why Soup?

Soups are amazing. Truly. What better way to eat lots of veggies in one serving while reducing food waste in your fridge?

I like that most soups are very quick to make and do not require much culinary precision. Anyone can make soup.

Those carrots that are past their prime or that box of spinach that you had intended to eat at the beginning of the week? Perfect for soup!

Plus, is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of homemade soup?

Equipment needed

You likely have everything you need already, but if you don’t, I highly suggest a good size soup pot for making big batches of soup to portion out.

I have this10qt Marseille Blue Le Creusetthat I love.

Stand Mixersare amazing for making blended soups without the mess of transferring to a blender.

Last but not least, make sure you have somefreezer safe food containersready to portion out your leftover soup to eat throughout the week or stack in your freezer.
