Hamburger Soup
Hector Manuel Sanchez
Ree inherited this recipe from her grandmother and it’s been a family favorite ever since. “I love hamburger soup so much, because you can add whatever veggies you want: zucchini, green beans, corn, even mushrooms,” Ree says. Alex makes her own version with canned tomatoes and diced green chiles for a dash of spice.

Perfect Potato Soup
Will Dickey
One of Ree’s greatest loves is this soup recipe, which she’s perfected over the years. “I am madly in love with this soup!” she says. “Leave it chunky or puree it smooth.” Top each bowl with bacon, cheese, and minced fresh parsley for serving.

Broccoli Cheese Soup
Hector Manuel Sanchez
Here’s a childhood favorite of the Drummond kids. “Hands down, Bryce’s favorite recipe of everything I make! It’s a keeper. (And so is Bryce!)” she jokes. Plus, it’s a good way to use up a freezer stash of broccoli florets and three cups’ worth of grated cheese.

Italian Meatball Soup
Will Dickey
Ree calls this recipe “transcendent”—and once you taste it, you’ll understand why. “Serve it with a big loaf of crusty Italian ciabatta bread and plenty of extra parmesan,” she advises. “The world will immediately feel like a warmer, kinder, gentler place.”

French Onion Soup
Will Dickey
This classic is “absolutely, positively, undeniably out of this world” as Ree says. For restaurant-worthy elegance, serve in ramekins topped with melty gruyère and a crispy crouton. Everyone will be impressed!

Chicken Tortilla Soup
Antonis Achilleos
Chicken tortilla soup is one of Ree’s all-time favorite soup recipes because there’s so much going on. Particularly at the end, which is when you add all the gorgeous toppings! If you’re serving this to a crowd, she recommends setting out all types of fixings and letting everyone put together their own bowl. Sour cream, avocado, red onion, cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeños, tortilla chips—the opportunities are endless.

Cauliflower Soup
Will Dickey
Out of all the soups in Ree’s repertoire, the one that most says “comfort food” to her is her mom’s time-tested cauliflower soup. “It’s brothy, savory, creamy, and filled with tender chunks of cauliflower and all the comforts of home,” Ree says. While this dreamy recipe may appear to have a lot of steps at first glance, there’s nothing difficult about it. Promise!

Italian Chicken Soup
Antonis Achilleos
Not to be confused with the meatball variety, this creamy and delicious soup is loosely based on a version from an Italian chain restaurant. (But, of course, it’s so much better homemade.) Ree admits it’s a little “pot heavy,” meaning you’ll need a few different pots to get everything going. But it’s so worth it for the end result, which will make your soul sing.

Stuffed Pepper Soup
Ralph Smith
Ree’s mom Gerre used to make stuffed peppers all the time and it’s now a true “comfort food.” This deconstructed version is less fussy and easy to prep ahead of time. (Just remember to cook the rice separately and add a scoop to each individual bowl before serving).

Chicken and Noodles Soup
Ralph Smith
Ah, the golden combo! This is another comfort food from Ree’s childhood and something she “highly recommends” if you’ve never come across it in your life. It’s a thick and hearty dish that’s a little different than thinner, brothier chicken noodle soup. (And there’s an unexpected shortcut ingredient that takes it completely to the next level!)
