While some soups require hours of slow simmering to achieve their best flavor, it's indeed possible to turn out the best results in a hurry — think just 30 quick minutes. Food Network Kitchen's Vegetable Noodle Soup, a fan-favorite recipe with a 5-star rating, comes together quickly once you've prepped the veggies and added them to the pot, since the noodles are cooked right in the broth as it boils. To finish, brighten up the soup with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice for satisfying results.

While this recipe is speedy enough to make and take for lunch, Food Network Kitchen notes that you can also freeze it for later. "Freeze any leftovers or make a double batch to have plenty on hand," the chefs in the Food Network Kitchen explain. They add, "You can stir in some cooked chicken or mini-meatballs, if desired, for another meal," so keep it on hand for when you're not celebrating Meatless Monday too.

Editor's note: To maintain a meatless meal, be sure to opt for vegetable broth instead of chicken broth as the base of the soup.
