Hamburger Soup
It’s no surprise that this cattle rancher loves to make hamburger soup. Not only do her kids like it, but Ree is also a fan because it’s so versatile—she can add whatever vegetables she has on hand. (We have all kinds of recipes for people with an abundance of ground beef!) 2 / 9
Chicken and Noodles
The Pioneer Woman’s version of chicken noodle soup is heartier than most traditional recipes. She even uses frozen egg noodles, saying they’re just as good as homemade but so much easier. 3 / 9
Butternut Squash Soup
Ree likes her butternut squash soup to be both sweet and savory. She includes bacon (of course) and adds maple syrup for an underlying note of sweetness. 4 / 9
Sausage, Potato and Kale Soup
Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana is the inspiration for Ree’s sausage, potato and kale soup. She prefers the homemade version because who wants to leave the house a cold day? 5 / 9
Simple Chili
As chili recipes go, Ree’s is as simple and straightforward as they come! Her satisfying recipe includes beef, beans, tomato sauce and a bit of masa harina, and our Firehouse Chili recipe is very similar. 6 / 9
Perfect Potato Soup
The Pioneer Woman is pretty picky about her potato soup. She prefers it to be creamy, textured and above all, comforting. Her recipe uses Cajun spices and is topped with bacon. 7 / 9
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Tortilla soup is a favorite for the Drummond family since they can each garnish their bowls with whatever they like. The busy mom includes cornmeal in her version to both thicken the soup and amp up the corn flavor. 8 / 9
French Onion Soup
In a surprising twist, Ree uses both chicken and beef broth in her French onion soup. She keeps it classic in every other way, however, topping the savory broth with a Gruyere-covered slice of toasted French bread. 9 / 9
