    Throw on your favorite sweater and warm up with these undeniably cozy soup recipes! From butternut squash soup to white chicken chili, I've got you covered.

    a bowl of vegetable and noodle soup.

    Soup Recipes for Fall:

    I always kick off fall with homemade soup! I throw on my favorite sweats, light a pumpkin candle, and chop all the veggies for my favorite butternut squash soup.

    The best part about soup is:

    • It tastes even better on day two! The ingredients get a chance to mingle and deepen.
    • It's quick and easy to reheat. Just pop a bowl in the microwave or reheat the entire batch in a saucepan.
    • It's full of nourishing ingredients. Soup is the perfect catch-all for leftover produce!

    If nothing else, let this list of comforting soup recipes inspire you! All of them are packed with fall ingredients like winter squash, potatoes, carrots, leafy greens, sweet potatoes, and more!

    The Best Soup Recipes:

    1. Butternut Squash Soup

    a bowl of butternut squash soup

    My all-time favorite soup! This butternut squash soup is pure magic! Fall veggies are roasted in a spiced butter mixture, then pureed with apple juice and vegetable stock.

    It's finished off with cream to make it velvety smooth! I can't recommend this soup enough.

    2. Cowboy Soup

    three bowls of cowboy soup

    Another solid choice, cowboy soup is similar to chili, except it's full of creamy potatoes and mixed vegetables.

    Don't be intimidated by the long ingredient list. It's mostly spices and canned beans/tomatoes. A minced chipotle in adobo adds a little bit of sweet heat.

    This soup is hearty and easy!

    3. Vegetable Noodle Soup

    I created this nourishing soup after a trip to the mountains with my fun-loving, ice cream obsessed family!

    After so many treats, I wanted a big bowl of veggies, which was the inspiration for this soup.

    It's packed with carrots, broccoli, celery, peas, and Swiss chard. White beans add some filling protein.

    4. Sweet Potato Soup with Parmesan Toasts

    5. Sausage Potato Soup

    a bowl of sausage potato soup with shredded cheese and bacon.

    A comfort food classic! You can make this one with or without sausage. If you buy your potatoes at Costco, this is a great way to use them up!

    This recipe calls for 2 ½ pounds of potatoes and you can easily double the recipe for a crowd. It's rich and creamy with tender chunks of potato.

    It's perfect for toppings like shredded cheese, bacon, and chives!

    6. Tuscan White Bean Soup

    a bowl of Tuscan white bean soup with kale.

    This soup is a good option if you want something cozy AND rich in veggies! It's full of creamy cannellini beans, carrots, celery, and wilted kale.

    Bonus: it makes the house smell amazing! There's nothing quite like a hearty and nourishing bowl of soup to temper all the holiday fudge and cookies.

    7. Healthy Harvest Chili

    three bowls of chili and sweet potatoes with cheese on top.

    This is a lightened up version of classic chili with lean ground beef and sweet potatoes! Ground turkey works great too!

    It only requires 15 minutes of hands-on time to brown the beef, then everything is tossed in the slow-cooker.

    It's easy, filling, and healthy. One serving is less than 200 calories!

    8. Loaded Potato Soup

    a bowl of potato soup with cheese and bacon.

    The entire family will love this loaded potato soup! If you load up your baked potato with bacon, sour cream, cheese, and chives, you will love this soup.

    It easily became a weekly staple during the chilly months!

    9. Creamy Tomato Soup

    a bowl of tomato soup with croutons on top.

    Tomato soup is a classic for a reason! And there's no reason to buy it canned. Homemade is worlds better and SO simple.

    Most of the ingredients are pantry staples, like onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Cream makes it silky smooth and a little bit rich!

    I like to serve it with a provolone grilled cheese or toasted French baguette.

    10. Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup

    a bowl of taco soup with sour cream and avocado.

    Sometimes I want a filling meal with minimal effort and taco soup is my go-to!

    This version is made in the instant pot with basic ingredients like canned tomatoes, beans, and broth. Taco and dry ranch seasoning add a boost of flavor!

    I like to top it with sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and crushed tortilla chips.

    11. Broccoli Cheese Soup (Gluten-free!)

    a bowl of broccoli cheese soup with broccoli and shredded cheese on top.

    This broccoli cheese soup is dreamy! And it's naturally gluten-free. It's thickened with cornstarch instead of flour.

    The best part? It takes 30 minutes from start to finish! No chopping required! It calls for matchstick carrots and frozen broccoli.

    The only thing you have to cut is the onion and you can find pre-chopped onion in the produce section! Score!

    12. Acorn Squash Soup

    a pot of acorn squash soup.

    This soup is loaded with fall veggies like acorn squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower.

    Garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and sage give it such a great flavor profile. It's creamy, cozy, and delicious!

    13. Mediterranean Red Lentil Soup

    a pot of lentil soup with wilted greens.

    I'm all about a one-pot meal that tastes great. I don't like a sink full of dishes! And this lentil soup delivers on both.

    It's nourishing with protein-rich lentils, carrots, zucchini, and spinach. It's a cozy meal and it's budget-friendly!

    14. Chicken Soup

    a bowl of chicken soup with carrots and celery.

    You really can't go wrong with chicken soup! This version is made with shredded chicken thighs, carrots, celery, and lemon.

    It's just what you need on a dreary day or when you get the sniffles.

    15. Crockpot White Chicken Chili

    a bowl of white chicken chili with shredded cheese, avocado, and tortilla strips on top.

    The crockpot does ALL the work for this white chicken chili. The chili is thick and creamy with chunks of shredded chicken.

    I like to top it with shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and tortilla chips for some crunch. SO good!
