And it doesn’t matter which one you try first. Any of these will make your hearts and bellies full and happy.

So what are you waiting for? Light up the stove and check out these fantastic fall soup recipes!

1. Roasted Cauliflower Soup

It’s not just a regular cauliflower – it’s an epic ROASTED cauliflower soup.

Roasting the veggies beforehand makes such a big difference. It gives the florets a much deeper, smokey flavor.

Look how thick it is! This soup is already creamy and delicious even without cheese. This list is off to a great start.

2. Broccoli Cheddar Soup

While Panera is most known for its bread, its broccoli cheddar soup is also a huge hit.

With this recipe, even kids won’t be able to say no to broccoli. Everything tastes better with cheese!

Sure, it has a lot of milk, butter, and cheese, but it also has broccoli and carrots… so we really can’t feel guilty about that second serving now, can we?

3. Crack Chicken Noodle Soup

This isn’t your grandma’s chicken noodle soup. It’s BETTER. (Sorry, grandma. But it’s true).

It has all the staples of classic chicken noodle soup, but it’s deliciously cheesy with a few secret ingredients.

Spoiler alert: the secret ingredients are ranch dressing, bacon, and cream cheese.

Thick, rich, smokey, and cheesy, this soup has it all!

4. Tomato Parmesan Soup

If you’re looking for the perfect tomato soup recipe to pair your perfect grilled cheese sandwich with, the search is over. This recipe is the sure winner!

It’s sweet, creamy, and so refreshing. Loaded with fresh basil and parmesan cheese, this tomato soup is already phenomenal even when served on its own.

5. Chicken Tortilla Soup

Whenever I’m feeling under the weather, I always turn to Chick-fil-A’s tortilla soup for comfort. It’s like a giant hug!

It’s so good that one bowl is never enough. Fortunately, this copycat recipe recreates the original perfectly.

This means I get to make a big batch and enjoy it anytime a craving strikes.

Why spend the time layering lasagna noodles when you can just make this crockpot lasagna soup?

Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier than this. It has all the cheesy tomato goodness of lasagna with none of the work.

And it’s a great way to sneak in a few veggies for those picky eaters at dinner time.

Chicken pot pie is great, but it’s a little time-consuming. If you don’t have the patience to fiddle with pie crust, this recipe is for you.

I love that it’s so thick and creamy with tender bites of chicken and veggies.

And instead of pie crust, it subs potatoes to check your carb box for the day.

8. 15 Bean Soup

To say that this 15 bean soup is fully loaded is an understatement. It contains 15 different beans, after all!

Filled with melt-in-your-mouth beans and ham and flavored with herbs and seasonings, it’s hearty and downright delicious.

It’ll make you toot, for sure, but it’ll also fill your heart and belly with joy.

This soup is teeming with tortellini, sausage, and kale. Also, it comes together in just 30 minutes.

Serve it with a side of crust bread and dinner is served. Your weeknight dinner prep has never been easier.

Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s mediocre. The combination of cheese-stuffed tortellini, sausage, and kale is amazing.

This pasta e fa*gioli is so good, Olive Garden is shaking. Meaning “pasta and beans,” this Italian soup is loaded with those two, plus more.

I’m talking ground beef, onion, carrots, celery, parsley, and a medley of herbs and seasonings.

Let’s also not forget about the savory broth and the rich romano and parmesan cheeses! It’s delicious in every bite.

Delight in the comforting warmth of this creamy mushroom soup, a perfect blend of earthy flavors and creamy texture.

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 large onion, diced

• 2 shallots, chopped

• 5 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup dry white wine or Marsala wine

• 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth or veggie stock

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 2 beef bouillon cubes, crumbled

• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

• 3/4 cup heavy cream

• Chopped fresh parsley and chives, for garnish

• Croutons or crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

• Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onion, shallots, and garlic until translucent and fragrant, around 2-3 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook until it absorbs the mushroom juices and no longer tastes raw – about 2 minutes.
• Pour in the wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half.
• Stir in the chicken broth, salt, pepper, bouillon cubes, thyme, and rosemary, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
• Stir in the heavy cream.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley, chives, and croutons.
• Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• Use a blend of mushrooms like button, cremini, shiitake, oyster, and portobello for a more complex and earthy flavor profile.
• For a vegetarian version, use veggie stock and replace beef bouillon cubes with vegetable bouillon.
• The calorie count and nutrition label doesn’t include garnishes.
