What Makes a Soup Feel Like Fall

Fall soups are all about balance – a mix of hearty textures, rich flavors, and seasonal ingredients that taste like comfort in a bowl. Think roasted vegetables like butternut squash and carrots, sweet undertones from apples or sweet potatoes, and creamy bases made with coconut milk or broth.

Soups with creamy bases, root vegetables, or roasted flavors are the most searched for during fall, especially around October and November.

  • Freeze extras: Store leftovers in airtight containers for quick, healthy soups all season long.
  • Play with textures: Blend creamy soups until smooth or leave them chunky for a rustic feel – either way, they’ll be warm and comforting.
