Thanksgiving means three things: family, gratitude, and leftovers—lots and lots of leftovers.

Good thing soups are ideal for using up whatever you have on hand. With a tasty stock, seasonings, and just about any meat, veggies, legumes, and grains, you can create a satisfying and nutritious meal. Just throw all the ingredients together and let the stovetop do the work for you. No precise measurements and stressing required.

When Thanksgiving is over and you’re staring at a fridge filled with turkey and a collection of side dishes, then give these recipes a try. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, these soups are the ultimate healthy cold-weather food.
