Fall is right around the corner and that means that soup season is finally here. On a crisp fall day, there is something truly beautiful about the simplicity of a one-pot meal that is warming to the soul and nourishing for the body. As the days get cooler, I find myself looking forward to homemade soup simmering away on the stovetop and fresh sourdough bread baking in the oven – simple, cozy meals made with seasonally inspired ingredients.
Today, I’m sharing eight of my favorite soup recipes to help keep you cozy this fall. From hearty bowls packed with autumn vegetables to comforting classics with a seasonal twist, these are the kinds of recipes I love to have on hand when the weather turns crisp and I’m ready for something warm and satisfying.
Butternut Squash Zuppa Toscana
One of the soups I always look forward to making each fall is this Butternut Squash Zuppa Toscana. Filled with flavorful ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, Italian sausages, smoked paprika, thyme and oregano, butternut squash, and cashew cream this soup is incredibly comforting and delicious, perfect for those chilly days this season.
Sweet Potato Chili
As the days get cooler, there is nothing better than a bowl of chili and this Sweet Potato Chili is one you will definitely want to try. Layered with seasonal produce, protein-packed beans, and warm spices like cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, this chili is bursting with irresistible flavor.
Sausage, Kale & White Bean Soup
Craving a creamy, comforting soup this fall? You’ll definitely want to give this Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup a try. Filled with the hearty Italian sausages, melt-in-your-mouth cannellini beans and silky potatoes, it is sure to quickly become a crowd-favorite on even the chilliest days.
Potato Leek Soup
A few years ago I discovered leeks and they quickly became one of my favorite additions to dishes of all kinds. This Potato Leek Soup is no exception. Velvety and aromatic, this soup combines the harvest-inspired flavors of sauteed leeks with the comfort of hearty potatoes and garden-fresh herbs, creating an incredibly wholesome, and soul-warming dish.
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
If you are looking for creaminess, without the heaviness of traditional dairy-based soups, look no further than this Roasted Cauliflower Soup. It’s silkiness comes from the roasted cauliflower, while fragrant herbs give it its exceptional flavor. Better yet, it is incredibly simple to whip up, requiring only seven ingredients. Perfect for those last-minute dinner plans or a busy weeknight meal.
Cabbage Soup
Hearty and produce-rich, this Cabbage Soup is incredibly easy to make and a great way to utilize that late-summer harvest. Filled with aromatic flavors from garden-fresh veggies, fire-roasted tomatoes, crunchy cabbage, and fragrant herbs, this soup is incredibly flexible and deeply nourishing.
Parmesan White Bean Chicken Soup
There are so many reasons to love this Parmesan White Bean Chicken Soup with Roasted Delicata Squash. Maybe its the chicken packed with flavor from being cooked alongside shallots, broth and fragrant herbs. Maybe its the grated parmesan, harvest-fresh squash and kale, or creamy white beans. Or maybe it is that it can be prepped in the morning and let simmer all day in the crockpot. Whatever it is, it is absolutely a must-make soup this season.
Red Lentil & Carrot Soup
Earthy, warming, and deeply flavored, this Red Lentil & Carrot Soup will quickly become a new favorite this fall. Made with wholesome ingredients like fresh carrots, coconut milk, and protein-packed red lentils, it is sure to keep you warm and satisfied. But what sets this soup apart is truly the blend of warm spices like cinnamon, turmeric, cumin and paprika. These ingredients help to give it a wonderful depth of flavor.
Sometimes the simplest of meals are the ones that help to make a season feel most special. As the days grow shorter, I hope these recipes inspire you to embrace the simple, cozy pleasures of the season.
As the days grow shorter, I’ve found that some of the simplest rhythms can also help to nourish our hearts, bodies and minds this time of year. From cooking a pot of soup to getting outside while there’s still daylight, these small choices can help us care for ourselves and show up well for those we love and the things we love to do. I recently wrote more about the simple rhythms I’m prioritizing this season in Rhythms for Flourishing: Caring for the Heart, Body & Mind as the Days Grow Shorter.
