26 Light Soups that Press the Reset Button
Sometime after the fifth consecutive night of holiday cookies and Champagne, we just want to crawl back into bed and wake up in January when resolutions are in full swing and our bodies have recovered. Until then, we power through, slurping on these light soups that keep us going all season long.

For rave-worthy soups, skip the store-bought stock. You can extract a cleaner, stronger broth from a combination of water and several pantry ingredients. It’s all about layering powerful flavor-enhancers that you probably already have on hand—bacon, tomato paste, herbs, peppercorns, a Parm rind, and, of course, kosher salt.

It’ll take a couple of hours to make the homemade broth and cook a whole chicken (your house will smell amazing) for this soup recipe. If you’ve had a long day, use 2 quarts store-bought broth and shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken. Whatever method you choose, use the chicken breasts to make this amazing salad with crispy rice.
