10 Vegetarian Fall Soups You Can Make All Season

Fall is the time for some wonderful seasonal vegetables. With the temperatures dipping, the wind picking up, leaves falling and layers increasing- there’s nothing more comforting that a steaming hot bowl of soup. These recipes use some incredible fall flavours and vegetables to produce fantastic vegetarian soups that you can enjoy all season (and some even after, too!)

1. Carrot and Ginger Soup

This heartwarming soup has beautiful fall flavours. Sweet carrots with the heat from the ginger work really well together, this recipe is fantastic for a quick lunch or dinner served with some multigrain crackers or pumpkin seed bread. This recipe is low fat and immune boosting (brilliant for those fall colds!) and uses sour cream instead of regular cream. The recipe calls for using wholemeal bread to thicken the soup. You can swap this for additional vegetables such as celery, more carrots or butternut squash, however it is a good way to use up any stale bread you may have lying around in the cupboard.

2. Creamy Pumpkin and Lentil Soup

This recipe is a fantastic low calorie vegetarian soup. It is creamy but light and is so easily prepped (only 15 minutes!). It’s the perfect recipe to use after Halloween- use leftover pumpkin flesh and seeds after carving for this delicious soup. The red lentils are a wonderful source of protein and you can add any vegetables of your choice to make this a chunky version- think diced potato, sweet potato or carrot.

3. Roasted Butternut Squash with Coconut, Miso and Lime

This vegan soup is a creamy, Asian inspired soup with the delicate flavours of coconut milk and combines it with the salty umami of miso and the zest of fresh lime. It’s silky smooth and perfect for lunch on a cold fall afternoon.

In this recipe, the sweetness lends itself really well to warmer flavours of turmeric and cayenne. The warmth and depth of the fresh ginger makes this a great soup to eat throughout fall. You can even prep in advance and freeze small batches to use later in the week.

5. Creamy Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Soup

With the days cooling down, soups are always on the menu served at lunch time or as a starter. This soup is brilliant all year round but especially during fall. Creamy mushroom soup is always a winner, but this recipe goes for the addition of sweet roasted garlic just elevates it.
