Soup is one of my favorite things to meal prep during the fall and winter. I love making a big batch for dinner and having leftovers ready for easy lunches throughout the next few days. And since I want those meals to keep me full, I’m always looking for soups that pack in plenty of protein!

For this collection, I pulled together 15 high-protein soup recipes with at least 20 grams of protein per serving, from cozy chicken soups to hearty chilis. I’ve included the protein count with each one so you can find your next meal prep favorite without opening fifteen different tabs.

Having a batch of my slow cooker shredded chicken ready makes the soups that call for cooked chicken even easier!
