When it gets cold outside, I crave a big bowl of hot soup. You know what I mean, right? These 18 fall soup recipes use all my favorite autumn ingredients like pumpkin, squash, and sweet potatoes.
I’ve made every single one, and they’re all so good! Some are creamy, some are brothy, and some are packed with veggies. You’ll find something you love here, I promise. Let’s make your kitchen smell amazing!
Roasted Pumpkin Soup
Roasting the pumpkin first makes it taste SO much better. You get this sweet, caramelized flavor that you just can’t get any other way.
I blend it up with some cream and spices until it’s super smooth. Then I throw on some toasted pepitas and a little cream drizzle. Yum!
Roasted Acorn Squash Soup
This soup tastes a bit nutty and sweet at the same time. I add a little maple syrup to bring out the squash’s natural flavor.
Once you blend it, it gets really silky. Top it with fresh thyme, and you’ve got yourself a fancy dinner that’s actually simple to make.
Butternut Squash Soup with Bacon
Bacon makes everything better, am I right? The smoky, crispy bits are perfect with the sweet butternut squash. I throw in some olive oil and sour cream, too.
Trust me, that crunchy bacon on top makes every spoonful feel special. My kids ask for this one all the time!
Carrot Ginger Soup
This bright orange soup wakes up your taste buds! Fresh ginger gives it a little zing that I absolutely love.
I use coconut milk to make it creamy and add butter or olive oil. It’s warm and refreshing at the same time, which sounds weird but totally works.
Instant Pot Butternut Squash Soup
Got thirty minutes? Then you can make this soup! I love my Instant Pot for busy nights when I need something quick.
Just toss everything in, press a button, and walk away. The pressure cooker does all the work while you relax. EASY PEASY!
Sweet Potato Chicken Soup
This one’s like a hug in a bowl. I cook chicken and sweet potatoes, carrots together in a tasty broth. The spinach adds some green goodness, too.
When you need something that fills you up and makes you feel good, this soup’s your answer. It’s become my go-to weeknight dinner.
Tomato Florentine Soup
This soup brings together juicy tomatoes and fresh spinach in the best way. The spinach wilts right into the creamy tomato base.
I add garlic and Italian herbs to make it extra tasty. It’s lighter than regular tomato soup but still feels cozy. Dip some crusty bread in there – you’ll love it!
French Lentil Soup
Lentils are so good for you, and they taste great in this soup. Unlike red lentils, French ones keep their shape when you cook them.
I simmer them with veggies and herbs, then stir in some lemon juice and fresh thyme. No meat needed here – it’s plenty filling on its own!
Vegan Butternut Squash Soup
You won’t believe this soup has no dairy in it! I use coconut milk and cashews to make it crazy creamy. Some nutritional yeast adds that savory depth you might miss.
My vegan friends love it, and so does everyone else who tries it. Nobody guesses it’s plant-based!
Creamy Asparagus Soup
I know asparagus isn’t really a fall veggie, but hear me out. This soup is just too good not to include!
Potatoes make it thick and creamy. A little lemon zest brightens everything up. Serve it with some crusty bread, and your dinner guests will think you’re a chef.
Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup
Everyone deserves good chicken noodle soup, even if you can’t have gluten! I use gluten-free noodles that taste just as good as regular ones.
Tender chicken, carrots, and stalks swim in a flavorful broth. This classic comfort food works for anyone at your table. It’s healing, warm, and totally delicious!
Broccoli Cheddar Potato Soup
This is comfort food at its finest, folks. Sharp cheddar melts right into the creamy potato base.
The broccoli adds color and vitamins. Even my picky eaters gobble this up! It’s like eating a warm, cheesy hug. You’ll want seconds, guaranteed.
Tomato Tortellini Soup
Store-bought tortellini makes this soup feel fancy without extra work. The little cheese pillows float in a tangy tomato broth with fresh basil and garlic.
I stir in some cream at the end. In just minutes, you’ve got something that tastes like it simmered all day. Magic!
Creamy Zucchini Soup
Don’t underestimate zucchini! When you blend it with garlic and herbs, it becomes this silky, elegant soup.
I top mine with croutons and fresh dill. Simple ingredients can surprise you sometimes. This one’s light but still satisfying, which is exactly what I want some nights.
Marry Me Chicken Soup
The name says it all – this soup is THAT good! Sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan create the most incredible creamy broth.
Tender chicken pieces make it hearty. People really do fall in love with this soup. I’m not saying it’ll get you a proposal, but… maybe?
Italian Penicillin Soup
When I feel a cold coming on, I make this. It’s Italy’s version of chicken noodle soup! Tiny pastina, white miso pates, garlicand veggies swim in a healing broth.
I add Parmesan rinds for extra flavor. This soup has saved me from so many sick days. It really does work like medicine.
Sausage Kale Potato Soup
Italian sausage gives this soup such a bold, amazing flavor. Potatoes make it stick-to-your-ribs hearty. The kale adds good-for-you greens.
My whole family devours this one on cold nights. It’s chunky, creamy, and totally satisfying. You’ll be scraping the bottom of your bowl!
Copycat Olive Garden Minestrone Soup
Why go out when you can make Olive Garden at home? This minestrone is loaded with veggies, beans, and pasta.
