Is there anything more satisfying than soup? (No. No, there is not.) Whether you enjoy a lazy Sunday-night supper, or you're making it in bulk for cheap, healthy lunches, here are our go-to product picks for making the best vegan and vegetarian soups and stews.
1. Stoneware Mug with Vented Lid
// Freeze soup in this mug, then reheat it (either in the oven or the microwave) right in the same container. The vented lid helps minimize microwave splatters.
2. A Beautiful Bowl of Soup: The Best Vegetarian Recipes
// Dozens of delicious soup recipes, and not a drop of chicken stock to be found.
3. Noon China Deep Soup Bowl // Savor your soup in style with a modern-looking, sturdy, deep china bowl.
4. Wide-Mouth Screwtop Glass Jars
// Is there anything worse than leaky soup in your lunch bag? Avoid any liquid mishaps by packing your soup in a screwtop glass jar. They're great for the freezer, too!
5. Le Creuset Stockpot
// Make 12 glorious quarts of whatever soup your heart desires (perhaps one of these 50 vegetarian soups!)-and make your stovetop look super cute doing it. It's also perfect for making homemade vegetarian chicken stock or veggie broth.
6. Countdown Slow Cooker
// The ceramic pot in this classic Crock-Pot model can be used on the stove to cook onions and garlic before pouring in the rest of your soup ingredients, and there's a programmable timer. Use it to make one of these vegetarian slow-cooker soups and stews!
7. Bay Leaves // Bay leaves are responsible for that earthy je ne sais quoi in soups and stews. Just make sure to remove the crunchy dried leaves when you're done.
8. Dried Beans
// If you're seriously into soup, dried beans are the best-and the most cost-effective-way to add protein.
9. Easy Garlic Chopper
// Everyone knows garlic is key to great soup. Save yourself a whole lot of mincing with this easy, BPA-free garlic press/chopper that also works on ginger, chiles and turmeric.
10. Wood Soup Serving Set
