Any spice. I mean it really just depends on what kind of soup you're making and what spices you like.

I add spices to soup, but it depends what kind of soup it is. Although...I'll put cayenne in anything, and lots of it.

For savory soups like chicken soup I use Italian seasoning. I buy it by the pound and use it whenever oregano, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, basil, and/or sage is called for. (I do also have Mexican oregano for Latin dishes, and I have sage and basil in the garden during the gardening season.)

For sweet spices I use pumpkin pie spice and sometimes use it in some recipes when they call for cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and/or cloves, but I also have all these spices individually. If my spice budget was tight I'd just keep pumpkin pie spice on hand for the sweet spices. This would be nice in a butternut squash soup.

I realize the OP didn't want spicy spices, but in case others do, here's a blend I discovered recently: Berbere Seasoning Blend. I use it for a lentil and ground beef stew.

Description: We combine twelve different spices to produce this wonderful, spicy blend which has its origins in Ethiopia. It has a very coarse, earthy texture and adds a zesty hot flavor to meats when used as a rub for grilling, barbecuing or pan frying.

Ingredients: Organic Paprika, Sea Salt, Organic Cayenne, Organic Fenugreek, Organic Coriander, Organic Cumin, Organic Black Pepper, Organic Cardamom, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Clove, Organic Ginger, Organic Turmeric.

Directions: Add two tablespoons of Berbere Seasoning Blend to your favorite stew. To make traditional Berbere Stew, add one cup of water, one pound browned beef or tofu, and 2 tablespoons of seasoning blend. Simmer for 30 minutes, adding more water if desired, then add 1 cup of diced tomatoes. Simmer until lentils are soft and tender, adding more water if desired. Makes 4 servings.

Paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, onion in both chicken and beef soup. Rosemary & thyme in beef. Parsley & sage in chicken soup. Vegetarian vegetable, whatever flavors you like (usually ALL of the above).

What soup?

Always salt and black pepper

Tomato based I'd add garlic, basil, oregano and rosemary

Meat stock based like chicken ...peppercorns, bay leaf

Carrots and leeks, good stock and coriander

Cyan pepper in general on anything
