Did you know that you can make soup WITHOUT using a pot? You only need your oven and a blender to make this sheet pan soup! This recipe makes it easy to whip up a satisfying dinner that checks all the boxes. I’ve fine-tuned it to deliver maximum flavor with barely any effort.
Most nights, I’m not trying to wow anyone with a showstopping dinner. Honestly, just getting something warm and delicious on the table can feel like a win — especially after a busy week or a long day.
That’s exactly when this sheet pan soup comes to the rescue. You roast big chunks of veggies with bacon and garlic until caramelized and golden, then blend everything into a rich, smoky, unbelievably flavorful soup. No pot required. The oven does the heavy lifting, and you barely have to prep.
It’s made with simple ingredients you probably already have — carrots, bell peppers, sweet potato, onion, garlic, bacon, broth, parmesan, and a splash of cream — plus a little Italian seasoning to tie it all together.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can really make soup on a sheet pan, the answer is absolutely yes. It’s hands-off, meal-prep-friendly, and packed with deep-roasted flavor. Cozy, easy, and the kind of dinner that feels like you tried way harder than you did.
Variations for sheet pan soup
This sheet pan soup is so adaptable! Whether you want to cater to a dietary requirement or use up some veggies from the fridge, you can make this soup your own. Here are some suggestions:
- Vegetarian sheet pan soup: Use vegetable stock instead of chicken, then skip the bacon. Instead, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to introduce some extra flavor and smokiness, and add some extra salt, cheese, and cream. Top it off with roasted chickpeas or croutons for texture.
- Extra veggies: Whether you have some butternut squash, cauliflower, or potatoes left in the fridge, you can mix up the veggies according to your preferences, or what you want to use up.
- Fresh herbs: Add some fresh basil leaves for a herbaceous note.
Store, reheat, and freeze
Store: Storage is easy! Let it cool to room temperature, then ladle it into a container. Cover the container, then refrigerate for 4-5 days.
Reheat: When ready to reheat, warm the soup on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave.
Freeze: Once it’s cooled to room temperature, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
