During my time in college, I’ve learned what my pantry staples are. These are the items I keep around that make assembling meals so much easier. Although they sound random altogether, they are always stocked in my cabinet, and I use them several times a week.

Cue the “good soup” Tik Tok sound. I am a huge soup person. I personally love making soup at the beginning of the week and enjoying it for leftovers. There are so many different types of soup you can make and it’s so easy to throw everything into a pot and leave it to simmer.

Homemade soup is pretty much the solution to every problem. Sick? Soup. Lazy? Soup. Cold? Soup. I don’t know about y’all, but once it gets cold outside, I crave soup more than anything else.
