Best Soup Suited to Your Zodiac Sign

On a chilly night, nothing beats a steaming bowl of soup. Soup is great because it can be made in bulk, stored in the freezer, and then reheated throughout the week.

In addition to being a filling and delicious meal, soup is also high in fiber, protein, and healthy fat. It makes sense to try a soup recipe chosen specifically for your star sign if you’re in the mood to try something new. Skye Alexander, astrologer and author of Magickal Astrology (available for purchase on Amazon for $16.95), recommends the following soup.

Aries: Middle Eastern Lamb Stew

People born under the sign of Aries, represented by the ram, do well to eat lamb in the form of lamb soups and stews. If you want to appeal to an Aries, keep in mind that they prefer spicy foods. The combination of cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a Middle Eastern lamb stew meets the requirements on both counts.

Taurus: Sweet and Sour Beef Cabbage Soup

Those with the Bull zodiac sign have an innate preference for hearty, fatty beef dishes. She encourages you to put your culinary skills to the test, saying, “Many of you earthy folks are terrific cooks and like nothing more than sitting down to a delicious meal you’ve created yourself.” The addition of honey and cider vinegar give this soup a sweet and sour flavour combination that is sure to satisfy your hunger.

Gemini: Vegan Instant Pot Lentil Soup

Geminis, who are constantly on the go, don’t have much time to prepare elaborate meals. “This Vegan Instant Pot Lentil Soup is quick and easy to fix, and it’s full of healthy vegetables,” says Alexander. “The radishes and balsamic vinegar add just a little zing to this classic soup.” (perfect for complex and two-sided Gemini).

Cancer: Moqueca (Seafood & Coconut Chowder)

Since the crab is the sign of Cancer, it stands to reason that this month’s soups should include shellfish. According to Alexander, if you’re a Cancer, you should eat Brazilian moqueca, a chowder made with crabmeat, shrimp, and coconut milk. She also notes that drupes (fruits like peaches, avocados, and coconuts) are often associated with Cancer (the “mother”) because the seed nestles like a baby in the womb-shaped fruit.

Leo: Southwestern Vegetable Chicken Soup

Leos love bold flavours and aren’t fans of mild or boring fare. According to Alexander, this spicy soup will transport you to the warm Southwest on chilly winter evenings thanks to its combination of chilli powder, smoky roasted poblano peppers, tangy lime, and fresh cilantro.

Virgo: Tuscan White Bean Soup

Since Virgos are known for their simple tastes and concern for their health, this Tuscan white bean soup with kale and tomatoes is sure to be a hit. She explains that it is easy to make, cheap, and healthy, not to mention tasty.

Libra: Roasted Pumpkin-Apple Soup

“Apples are considered by astrologers to be under the sway of Venus,” Alexander says. Smooth pumpkin-apple soup like this one has a touch of healthy sweetness thanks to the addition of apples. Plus, this dish has both sweet and savoury components, providing the ideal balance so prized by Libras.

Scorpio: Slow-Cooker Mushroom Soup with Sherry

Pluto rules mushrooms and Scorpios, so it’s no surprise that those born under either sign can have a fiery personality. As an alternative to bland white mushrooms, she suggests using porcini, cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms due to their unique flavours. All four are included in this rich and flavorful broth.

Sagittarius: Moroccan Vegetable Soup (Chorba)

Sagittarians who have travelled widely tend to be open to trying foods from all over the world. Alexander says, “A Moroccan Vegetable Soup known as chorba, made with either beef or lamb, pasta, and plenty of vegetables, will entice your adventurous appetite.” The soup gets its orange colour from turmeric, a spice that is associated with Sagittarius.

Capricorn: Spinach Goat Cheese Bisque

According to Alexander, “Capricorn’s symbol is the goat, and spinach is ruled by Saturn, the planet that rules their zodiac sign,” making this smooth Spinach and Goat Cheese Bisque an ideal meal. To dip, you should have some fresh, warm bread or crostini. Yum!

Aquarius: Korean Chicken Soup

The unconventional Aquarian is always up for trying something new, and the spicier the better. “This Korean Chicken Soup, seasoned with hot chilli paste, soy sauce, and fresh ginger, is nothing like ordinary chicken soup, and it’s quick and easy to prepare—an added bonus for busy Aquarians,” she says.

Pisces: Salmon Chowder

The Pisces symbol is a pair of fish swimming in opposite directions, suggesting that those born under this sign have a deep connection to the ocean and a taste for seafood stews and chowders. According to Alexander, “Salmon is rich with healthy omega-3s and it’s pretty too, so use it in place of the usual cod or haddock chowder instead.”
