While some people consider #adulting to be keeping a consistent bedtime (bliss), never repeating an outfit (overrated), or maintaining an organized desk (so satisfying), I define the elusive concept that I’ve spent my twenties chasing by the following: my ability to whip out and whip up all the fall soup recipes of my choosing come September.
20 Fall Soup Recipes to Satisfy Your Cozy Craving
Despite the recent muggy, hot, and sticky weather, I’ve had my sights set on cozy season since last year. And while Lorelai Gilmore and I share an appreciation for the mystical magic of snow, there’s something even more wondrous about the crackling of leaves underfoot, the warm mugs of cider I consume with festive abandon, and, of course, the many comforting, autumnal meals made all the more special thanks to the fall soup recipes below.
So, if you’re craving a healthy dose of cozy, look no further than the wholesome deliciousness ahead. Let soup season begin!

A bowl of this roasted tomato and white bean soup is like a warm, comforting hug when you’ve had a long day. Bright cherry tomatoes, creamy beans, and wilted spinach combine to yield a hearty flavor with minimal effort.

Thai Coconut Curry Soup
With a coconut milk base, curry paste, seasonal veggies, and optional protein, this coconut curry soup is flexible, fragrant, and perfect a bowl of warmth with a kick of heat.
Zuppa Toscana Soup
When the weather starts to cool off, I always whip up this hearty and savory Italian-style pot of delicious herbs and spices. If this was ever your go-to Olive Garden soup and salad order, I’m happy to report that this recipe is even more delicious than you may remember.
Healthy Broccoli Cheddar Soup
If you once found yourself craving this Panera staple, you now have the ultimate recipe for curating this soup right from your own kitchen. Zucchini, cauliflower, and broccoli pack a solid amount of vitamins to keep you feeling your best during cold and flu season.
Curry Butternut Squash Soup
When September hits, I’m ready to eat all the squash daily—and for every meal. There’s something about the smoky-sweet flavor of this soup that epitomizes fall. It’s velvety, thick, and, thanks to the curry powder, just a bit spicy and warm. Translation: perfect.
Fire Roasted Tortellini Soup
A bland soup can seriously ruin my cozy ritual. But with recipes like this fire-roasted fall tortellini soup, flavor is never lacking. There’s no doubt that this recipe is at the top of my list to cook this season.
One-Pot Vegetable Stew
Fall soup recipes are one of the easiest ways to pack in so many nutritious fruits and veggies. With immune-boosting ingredients like lemon and carrots, and protein from chickpeas, you’ll stay happy and healthy during cold and flu season.
Rustic Skillet Tomato Basil Soup
Isn’t this tomato soup skillet just stunning?! A blend of creaminess and savory roasted tomatoes makes for the ultimate soup with a pretty unconventional cooking method.
Creamy Pumpkin Soup with Curry & Lentils
I’m guilty of being a pumpkin lover when it comes to just about everything, but recently I’ve strayed from the sweeter pumpkin-flavored dishes. Enter: this delicious curried pumpkin soup. It has all of the Indian-inspired flavors I crave during the fall months, along with hearty lentils and creamy coconut milk.
Coconut Curry Red Lentil Soup
My mom has a lentil soup recipe that’s turned even my most veggie-averse friends into legume lovers. And while that’s the one I turn to time and again, this spin introduces unexpected flavors that I’m happy to spoon up. The ginger and curry powder supply just the right amount of heat, while the orange zest cuts it with a little sweetness. It’s hard to believe such a complex flavor can be so easy to create.
Big Green Immunity-Boosting Vegetable Soup
The moment I learned I could pack a whole day’s worth of green veggies into a single serving of soup, well, I was floored. This immunity-boosting recipe not only makes healthy eating efficient but super yummy, too. Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, and plenty of herbs—a whole potful of earthly delights.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
While some tortilla soups go heavy on the combo of cheese and sour cream, this one encourages the garnishes while creating enough flavor in the soup itself that you don’t have to go overboard. Camille’s secret to giving this soup major tasty points? Cook the bone-in chicken (don’t you dare remove the skin!) in the oven before adding it to the soup. It poaches in the broth, making the whole pot all the more delish. Max flavor for minimal effort.
Vegan Butternut Squash Soup
I have a thing for squash, butternut in particular. It’s the perfect base for any array of flavors—spicy, sweet, smoky—you name it! In this recipe, Camille plays up its natural sweetness by combining the squash with carrots, oranges, and honey while balancing it all out with a bit of turmeric. Sunshine in a bowl.
Mexican Chicken & Rice Soup
Whether your sniffles are signaling the start of a cold or you’re just in the mood for something light but satisfying, this easy fall soup recipe has you covered. With plenty of veggies (onion, carrots, celery, zucchini, and garlic), a lightly-flavored broth, and the comforting combo of chicken and rice, this soup is truly a cure-all for anything that ails you.
Spicy Vegan Corn Soup
When I think of corn soup, my mind goes to creamy, heavy bowls of my favorite chowders. And while these recipes are definitely delicious, they also leave me needing a nap by the time my spoon hits the bottom of bowl. I love that this plant-based recipe takes a non-dairy approach by subbing in coconut milk for heavy cream or milk, making this soup taste indulgent while still letting the other flavors (supplied by the poblanos, cumin seeds, jalapeño, and more) shine.
Turmeric Chicken Immunity Soup
While this list of fall soup recipes includes others that lean on the classic chicken noodle combo, this one gets a unique spin thanks to the addition of turmeric that infuses the broth with its golden glow. Of course, by now, most of us know that any recipe using turmeric comes with plenty of immune-boosting benefits, and this soup is no different—it’s the ultimate superfood.
Easy Black Bean Soup
When the temps drop, and I start to (happily, enthusiastically) pile on the layers, I know it’s time to make this black bean soup on repeat. It’s a one-pot wonder, leaning on canned black beans to help you make dinner with ease. If you’ve ever found yourself at 5:30 on a Tuesday evening without a clue of what to cook, this will always be the answer. I bet you have everything you’ll need in the pantry already.
Roasted Cauliflower & White Bean Soup with Rosemary
There are few things I love more in this life than roasted cauliflower (friends and family can attest). Roasting the garlic before adding it to the pot gives the soup a gorgeous, caramelized bite. Idyllic dining, y’all.
