Vegetable broth is something you should always keep on hand. After all, you can always use it because it’s so versatile. People hear ‘vegetable broth’ and think of soup. And true, it does make a fantastic soup base. However, there’s so much more you can do with it. If you aren’t sure what, these 25 recipes with vegetable broth are here to help. I’ll bet you’ll find something that sounds good for dinner tonight!
1. Cozy Autumn Wild Rice Soup
This creamy, brothy soup is earthy, savory, and so good. It’s the perfect comforting meal on a cool fall or winter’s night. It has plenty of veggies and herbs. Plus, the mushrooms add a wildness and warmth that’ll delight your taste buds. It takes about an hour to make and is perfect for enjoying with warm bread.
2. Mediterranean White Bean Soup
This nutrient- and protein-packed vegan soup is a culinary masterpiece. It’s quick and easy to make and delightfully herby. It’s also gluten-free, low-calorie, and low-fat. You can’t go wrong with a meal like that.
3. Vegetable Pot Pie
Is anything more heartwarming than hot pot pie straight from the oven? If so, I haven’t found it yet. The buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crust. The thick, creamy sauce. The tender, flavorful veggies. Pot pie really does have it all. Stick to the recipe, or stuff it with your own favorite seasonal veggies. You can even add beef, turkey, or chicken if you like.

4. Lemon Chickpea Orzo Soup
Looking for something brighter and zestier? Try lemon chickpea orzo soup. It’s still delicious, nutritious, and filling. However, it has a lighter, zingier taste. Lemon, dill, and garlic may seem like an odd combination. However, trust me when I tell you they work very well together. Add some orzo, veggies, and tahini, and you’re all set.

I adore the way this soup looks. It sounds like I’m being hyperbolic or overly dramatic, but I’m not. Just look at the rich, vibrant color. And that lovely white swirl!

14. Vegan Thai Yellow Tofu Curry
Don’t you just love bright, vibrant food? I mean, yes, of course, food is all about the taste. However, there’s something to be said for presentation, too.

However, after you cover the lentils in the homemade Sloppy Joe sauce, no one will mind. They’re saucy, smoky, and just a bit sweet. A single bite has more flavor than some entire meals. Don’t be embarrassed if you lick your fingers (and the plate!) squeaky clean.
18. Three-Cheese Garlic Noodles
This recipe had me at “three cheese” and “garlic.” Hey! That’s one of my favorite combinations. These tender, buttery noodles are garlicky and insanely cheesy. They boast mozzarella, parmesan, and fontina cheeses. And that heavy cream-based sauce can’t be denied. If you have kids, be prepared to make this a lot because they’ll ask for it all the time.
19. Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Roasted cauliflower soup is mild but tasty, thick but luscious. It’s buttery, savory, and impossible not to love. It takes a bit of time to make, but the process is incredibly simple.
