Follow Me NowOnce the cooler weather arrives, I start wanting soup for dinner at least a few nights a week. There is just something about a big pot simmering on the stove that makes fall evenings feel a little more comfortable.
These 21 fall soup recipes include everything from creamy pumpkin and butternut squash soups to hearty chicken, sausage, bean, tortellini, and wild rice options. Some are perfect for busy weeknights, while others are the kind I like to make when I have a little more time and want something extra cozy.
1) Lemony Tuscan White Bean and Kale Soup By The Kitchn
This is one I make when I want something cozy but not overly heavy. The creamy white beans, tender kale, and bright lemon keep every bowl fresh and satisfying. I like serving it with thick toast, and the leftovers make an easy lunch the next day.

2) Roasted Butternut Squash Soup By Feasting at Home
I love this soup when butternut squash starts showing up everywhere in fall. Roasting the squash and apple gives it a deeper, sweeter flavor, while the ginger keeps it from tasting flat. I usually serve it with crusty bread and keep the toppings simple.

This was a big hit on a chilly weeknight because it gives you all the comfort of lasagna without dealing with layers and a casserole dish. It is hearty enough for dinner on its own, and I like adding plenty of Parmesan right before serving.
4) Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup By Ahead of Thyme
Pumpkin soup can get boring fast, but the coconut and curry make this one completely different. It is creamy, warmly spiced, and especially good when you want a meatless fall dinner. I like adding something crunchy on top so every bowl has a little texture.
5) Ultimate Pumpkin Sausage Soup By Garlic & Zest
Pumpkin and sausage are such a good fall combination, especially when I want a soup that actually feels like dinner. This one is hearty without being too heavy, and I like the contrast from the kale and lemon. Use mild sausage if you are feeding kids.
6) Creamy Sweet Potato Soup By Dishing Delish
I make this when I have sweet potatoes sitting around and want something smoother than a chunky vegetable soup. Roasting the vegetables first gives the finished soup much more flavor. It is simple enough for a weeknight, but it also works nicely as a holiday starter.
7) Apple Carrot Ginger Soup By It’s a Veg World After All
The apple, carrot, and ginger combination is one of my favorite ways to make a fall soup feel fresh instead of heavy. The apples add sweetness, while the ginger gives it a little kick. I like it especially well for lunch with a sandwich or warm bread.

9) Parsnip and Apple Soup By Dana’s Table
Parsnips do not get enough attention in fall, and this soup is a great reason to buy them. The apple softens their earthy flavor and gives the soup a gentle sweetness. I especially like this one as a starter when I am serving a bigger fall or holiday meal.
10) Potato Carrot and Leek Soup By Our Balanced Bowl

This is one of those soups that disappears fast at my house. Sausage, cheese tortellini, and a creamy broth make it feel like proper comfort food, and the kale helps balance the richness. I use mild sausage for family dinners and add extra red pepper flakes to my bowl.

13) Thai Red Curry Sweet Potato Soup By Running on Real Food
I love the combination of sweet potato, coconut, lime, and Thai red curry when I want something warmer and more interesting than a basic blended soup. It is especially good for meal prep because the flavors settle in beautifully, and I usually make enough for lunch the next day.
14) Chipotle Black Bean & Sweet Potato Soup By From My Bowl

18) Healthy Broccoli Cheddar Soup By Lexi’s Clean Kitchen
Broccoli cheddar is always a crowd-pleaser, and I like this version because it sneaks in extra vegetables without losing that creamy, cheesy comfort-food feeling. I grate the cheddar myself so it melts smoothly, then serve the soup with bread for an easy dinner everyone can get behind.
