Costco Soup Recipes
Soup is where Costco's bulk quantities truly shine. A single Costco rotisserie chicken makes enough soup for eight servings. A large pack of Italian sausage is perfect for a pot of white bean soup that feeds a family all week. Costco's multi-pack chicken broth is the foundation of almost every soup here. These are the recipes that prove batch cooking is worth it.

Costco Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
Costco Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
Homemade chicken noodle soup in under 40 minutes sounds too good to be true, but starting with a Costco rotisserie chicken makes it completely real. You skip the hours of simmering raw chicken by using already-cooked, already-seasoned meat and adding the carcass to the broth for extra depth. The result tastes like something that's been on the stove all day.
Costco Italian Sausage and White Bean Soup
Costco Italian Sausage and White Bean Soup
Sausage and white bean soup is one of those recipes where the main ingredient does nearly all the work. Costco's Italian sausage is so well-seasoned that it transforms a simple broth into something rich and deeply flavored in 40 minutes. Add white beans, kale, and a Parmesan rind if you have one, and you have a soup that tastes like it's been cooking since morning.
Costco Rotisserie Chicken Tortilla Soup
Costco Rotisserie Chicken Tortilla Soup
Chicken tortilla soup is one of the best things you can make with a Costco rotisserie chicken. The broth gets its depth from fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, and chili powder — and because the chicken is already cooked, the whole soup comes together in 30 minutes on a weeknight. Topped with crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro, it's a complete, crowd-pleasing dinner.
Costco Bibigo Mini Wonton Soup
Costco Bibigo Mini Wonton Soup
Costco's Bibigo mini chicken and cilantro wontons are one of the best freezer staples in the store. They cook in 5 minutes from frozen and taste genuinely good. Dress them up with a simple broth — chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic — and you have wonton soup that's better than most takeout versions in under 15 minutes.
Costco Ground Beef Chili
Costco Ground Beef Chili
This Costco ground beef chili is the kind of recipe you make once and eat four times. A Costco pack of ground beef, canned beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, and a well-built spice blend simmer into a rich, thick chili that tastes like it's been cooking all day. A small amount of cocoa powder deepens the color and adds complexity without making it sweet.
Costco Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Costco Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Costco sells pre-cut beef stew meat that goes directly from the package into the slow cooker with minimal prep. The key to great beef stew is browning the meat first (10 minutes on the stovetop) and using a small amount of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for depth. After 8 hours on low, the beef is falling-apart tender and the broth is thick and intensely savory.
Costco Butternut Squash Soup
Costco Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash soup is one of the most satisfying soups you can make, and Costco's large butternut squash (often sold as a 2-pack) makes a generous pot. Roasting the squash first rather than simmering it directly in broth concentrates the sweetness and adds depth. The result is a silky, restaurant-quality soup that takes about an hour total and reheats beautifully all week.
30-Minute Chicken Pho with Costco Rotisserie Chicken
30-Minute Chicken Pho with Costco Rotisserie Chicken
Classic pho takes 6–12 hours of simmering beef bones, but this weeknight version uses a clever shortcut: charring ginger and onion directly in a dry pan creates the same deep, caramelized flavor that normally comes from roasting bones. Kirkland chicken broth and a rotisserie chicken bring it together in 30 minutes. The broth won't fool a Hanoi native, but it will absolutely satisfy a pho craving on a Tuesday night.
Big-Batch Costco Vegetable Soup
Big-Batch Costco Vegetable Soup
Costco is ideal for big-batch soup: their bulk bags of carrots, celery, and zucchini, canned diced tomatoes, and Kirkland Signature chicken or vegetable broth make it economical and easy to fill a large pot. This soup is loaded enough to be a main course, with cannellini beans adding protein and body so it satisfies without feeling thin. It freezes beautifully in individual portions, making it one of the best meal-prep recipes in the rotation.
