Imagine this: It’s a crisp autumn afternoon. A breeze is blowing crunchy leaves off the trees. There’s a fire in the fireplace. You’re wearing your comfiest sweater. Maybe a pumpkin candle burns in the background. It’s perfect, right?
Not quite.
The only thing this idyllic scene needs to achieve fall perfection is a pot of soup simmering on the stove.
Soup is the ultimate one-pot meal, but that’s not all it has going for it. There’s a reason you crave soup when you’re coming down with a cold or flu. Bone broth and other common soup ingredients like garlic and fresh herbs boast immune-supporting compounds, and the hot liquid itself can help relieve congestion. Soup is also great for folks who like to prepare meals in bulk to freeze and enjoy later. And, it’s a great way to use up the random meat and veggies in the fridge to prevent food waste.
Here are a dozen of our favorite soup recipes that will get you pumped to say, “Soup’s on!”
12 Soups to Enjoy This Fall (Or Any Time!)
Chicken Soup Recipes
Ginger Turmeric Chicken Soup
If you only try one recipe from this list, make it this one. It’s everything you love about chicken soup but turned up a few notches with the addition of ginger and turmeric—two are staple ingredients in traditional medicine thanks to their many beneficial properties.
Instant Pot Chicken “Noodle” Soup
Your classic chicken noodle soup made Primal, paleo, and keto friendly with a low-carb noodle alternative. (No, it’s not zucchini.) The Instant Pot pressure cooker saves time and is ideal for times when you don’t want to tend a pot on the stovetop.
Seafood Soup Recipes
Cioppino
Bring the flavors of Italy and San Francisco together (yes, you read that right) in this tomato-y, garlicky masterpiece. It’s easier than you might think.
Coconut and Red Palm Oil Salmon Chowder
A powerhouse of healthy fats that combines some ingredients you might not have tried before—red palm oil and kohlrabi or rutabaga—with Primal favorites salmon and coconut milk. Try this soup next time you’re feeling stuck in a menu rut.
Vegetable Soup Recipes
Garlic Soup with Mushrooms and Chive Oil
Calling all garlic lovers! You simply must try this simple yet elegant and oh-so-delicious soup. (We like to load up on garlic during the cold and flu season.)
Creamy Broccoli Spinach Soup
Get a hefty serving of sulfur-rich broccoli in this creamy soup that somehow manages to be both light and filling. The recipe is dairy-free, but feel free to add a little (or a lot of) shredded cheese to your bowl!
Silky Celery Root Soup
Most people ignore celeriac, or celery root, at the grocery store. We get it. It looks kind of like a dirty, hairy, misshapen potato—but looks are deceiving here. Celery root has a lovely delicate flavor that makes for an absolutely wonderful blended soup.
Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
A fall classic, you can’t pass up butternut squash soup!
And Now for Something A Little Different…
Tomato Soup with Gluten-free Spicy Mini Meatballs
This tomato soup recipe features a unique time-saving ingredient. Shhh!
Kale Soup with Turmeric and Ground Lamb
Here is another great option with immune-boosting ingredients. If you don’t care for lamb, substitute ground turkey instead.
Slow-Simmered Cabbage Soup
Cabbage is abundant and affordable at farmer’s markets in the fall. If you’ve only had cabbage in coleslaw, try this recipe! When you slowly simmer it, the flavor changes considerably, becoming mild and lightly sweet.
Pork Belly and Kimchi Soup
Spicy and rich, this soup is like nothing else on this list. Try it with different types of kimchi to discover unique flavors.
