Creamy Navy Bean Soup With Chicken and Veggies
This soup can be especially wallet-friendly if you buy beans from the bulk bin. Be sure to allow a little extra prep time—you'll need to soak the beans overnight.

Hearty Mushroom and Potato Soup
This soup is so thick, it's almost a stew—great for a cold-weather afternoon. Even though it's vegetarian, a generous pile of potatoes make it filling enough to stand on its own.
For extra flavor, use crimini mushrooms or porcinis if you can afford 'em. Otherwise, the standard white mustroom will do just fine!
