Kosher Soup Recipes

Kosher soup is not limited to borscht and chicken soup. In fact, any soup made of kosher ingredients and cooked according to Jewish Dietary Laws is a kosher soup.
Creamy Vegetable Soup (Parve)
This is my mother's recipe. In other words, ingredient amounts are not exact, but the soup is delicious every time. Use whatever leftover vegetables you have in the house - cauliflower, zucchini, onion, cabbage, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, celery and more. Just before the veggies are tender enough for the immersion blender, add coconut milk to make the soup creamy but still parve.
Broccoli Cheese Soup (Dairy)
Often in the summer when Shabbat starts later in the evening, we will have a dairy meal instead of the traditional meat meal. This soup is a perfect starter for dairy Sabbath meals as well as for the Shavuot holiday meal.
Cold Tomato Soup Appetizer for Shabbat Lunch (Parve)
This is a really easy, versatile soup that can be served hot or cold. I usually serve this cold for starters for a Shabbat lunch. I don't think I have ever served this soup and not been asked for the recipe!
Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup
It has become a family tradition to serve Chicken Noodle Soup for our Rosh Hashanah holiday meal and Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls for Passover Seder. The herbs and spices used in this Chicken Soup recipe make for a deliciously rich broth.
Marak Kubah - Kuba Soup (Meat)
Kubah is a small pocket of dough that is stuffed with ground beef and pine nuts. Kubah for soup is usually boiled, whereas Kubah served on a platter is fried. Grocery stores in Israel and increasingly in the United States offer frozen packages of Kubah that are ready to drop into a vegetable soup. Enjoy this traditional recipe for kosher Kubah Soup.
Kosher Winter Soups
Chicken soup is "embedded deeply in the Jewish psyche", according to Jewish food historian Oded Schwartz. Yet, there are many other kosher recipes for soup that can be comforting to make and eat on cold winter days
Chicken Turkey Soup (Meat)
My kids never get tired of this Chicken Turkey Soup. They especially like it served with matzo balls. I add turkey to the soup in order to raise the soup's iron content, but the turkey also gives the soup a richer flavor.
Hungarian Vegetable Soup (Parve)
This hearty vegetable soup contains beans, peas, potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Hungarian paprika adds ethnic flavor.
Kids' Favorite Potato Soup (Parve)
I imagine this is one of those recipes my kids will ask for when they are older and have their own families. On cold winter days, this Potato Soup has warmed us up inside, turning the chilly house around us into a cozy home.
Miki's Red Pepper Soup (Parve)
This vibrant, colorful Red Pepper Soup, thickened with potato and sweetened with pears, tastes as good as it looks. This recipe was contributed by Word of Mouth, a Cleveland-based kosher catering company.
Pureed Butternut Squash Soup (Parve)
Butternut squash, a nutritionally rich winter squash, tastes somewhat like sweet potatoes. This Pureed Butternut Squash Soup - from Word of Mouth, a Cleveland-based kosher catering company - is delicious to eat and lovely to serve.
Simple Corn Soup (Parve)
I love corn and anything made with corn. I have yet to find a corn soup recipe that I didn't like. This kosher-parve corn soup, however, is the one I make most often as it is so easy to make. Why work hard for no reason?
Simple Pumpkin Soup (Parve)
My eight-year-old son brought this recipe home from school one day. I don’t know its source. We tried it together and were amazed at how easy it was to make and how delicious it tasted.

This vegetarian and vegan recipe for a hearty homemade barley and vegetable soup is both healthy and filling. A meal in itself, you can add just about any veggies you want - green beans, peas or corn would all work well. This recipe makes a more than generous amount, so plan on having some leftovers!
