Fall is here with its fiery-tinted leaves, crisp air, and vivid blue skies. It’s the perfect excuse to cozy up with a bowl of warm, comforting soup! I’ve curated a selection of my best — and 5-star reader favorite — Fall Soups to celebrate the flavors and ingredients of the season. From creamy pumpkin bisque to hearty mushroom barley, these soups will be your go-to meals throughout Souptember and autumn.
Chicken Soups
There’s nothing quite like a steaming hot bowl of chicken soup on breezy fall days. Especially when you’re feeling a little achy or extra chilled because you’re still getting used to the lower temps outside. Chicken soup comes in all shapes and flavors, and is a versatile option throughout fall and winter.
The only thing more comforting on a crisp fall day than chili is a big bowl of chili in soup form. This Chicken Chili Soup is a decades-old family recipe and is probably the original source of my love of soup!
It probably sounds sort of weird, but blue cheese actually makes an incredible, umami-filled sauce for soup. Spiked with tasty hot sauce, this creamy Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Soup is maxed out with buffalo chicken wings flavors.
As if chicken soup couldn't get any better, add light and savory chicken meatballs for a hearty and filling meal. Chicken Meatball Noodle Soup is the perfect comfort food on chilly, rainy days.
Inspired by the Olive Garden's famous soup, my version of Chicken Gnocchi Soup is loaded with vegetables for maximum nutrition and savory flavors. The pillowy gnocchis make this soup :chef's kiss:
This version of classic Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup takes flavor one step further with a luscious texture and subtle hints of salty pancetta for a delicious, hearty meal that everyone, including your carnivores will love.
Stay warm and comfy at home and make your favorite take-out … in cozy fall soup form. General Tso's Chicken Soup is easy to make yet packed with the Asian-inspired flavors of the original dish.
One of my favorite cooking projects is to take classic, yummy recipes and turn them into hearty, super-flavorful soups. Chicken Parmesan Soup is a great example of how just about anything is better as soup (I stand by that!).
Far from blah and boring, vegetable soups can be hearty and filling while still being nourishing. Here are some of my favorites (vegetarian or vegan options, too).
A naturally vegetarian but meal-worthy soup, Mushroom Barley Soup is thick and hearty, thanks to loads of meaty mushrooms and satiating pearl barley. Also Blue Zones compliant.
Autumn Squash Soup is one of my all-time favorite soups from Panera. I crave it year-round, so I created this spot-on copycat recipe, featuring the seasonings and textures of the original. So good with a crusty baguette for dipping!
I'm particularly fond of the Thai flavor palate, and this Vegetarian Thai Peanut Soup takes full advantage. Featuring fall squashes alongside ginger, red curry paste, and sesame oil, ramen noodles simmer in a crave-worthy peanut broth for a full-bodied fall soup.
A unique homemade soup featuring fall's freshest vegetables and a generous portion of cheesy, crusty bread on both bottom and top. This Autumn Vegetable Soup recipe is a hearty, comforting soup for chilly evenings!
Smooth and full-flavored, Creamy Pumpkin Soup gets a lovely surprise from the sharp savoriness created by the blue cheese sauce. This soup is easy to make, but company-worthy. Serve it as an appetizer soup for your next celebration dinner!
The meat lovers in your life will enjoy these hearty and satisfying soups. The vegetable gardener in me still sneaks in loads of veggies, so you can feel good that you’re getting the most out of every bowl of these delicious cozy Fall Soups.
Italian Wedding Soup is such a classic that it's a must-have on your fall menu. Loads of vegetables create a savory broth for delightful little meatballs and carby pasta.
The best use for leftover turkey, in this soup lover's opinion, is soup! Leftover Turkey Wild Rice Soup is creamy, savory and the perfect solution for extra Thanksgiving turkey. Cook up a batch for a cozy weekend of football!
Inspired by Olive Garden's famous Zuppa Toscana, my version of Tuscan Potato Soup is loaded with vegetables and, of course, lots of savory sausage and tender potatoes.
A hearty, vegetable-loaded soup with super flavorful Italian sausage and orzo pasta. Italian Sausage Orzo Soup is lightly creamy and a comforting meal-worthy soup for chilly evenings.
I hope you found something tempting in this list and that I’ve convinced you to cook up a fall soup or two this week. IMO soup is the perfect thing to ladle into a big mug and get comfy on the couch with while watching the weekend’s football line-up. Let’s celebrate Souptember all autumn long!
