Vegetable Based Soups
Easy Vegetable Cabbage Soup
Packed with cabbage and fresh vegetables in a savory broth, this is my go-to when I want a lighter soup that still feels like a full meal.

Butternut Squash and Leek Soup
Smooth and lightly sweet from roasted squash, balanced by caramelized leeks. A bowl of this with bread makes a satisfying dinner.

Easy Spinach Tortellini Soup
Quick and satisfying, with tender tortellini and plenty of fresh spinach. I like to keep this one in rotation for nights when I need dinner on the table fast.

Baby Kale and Chickpea Soup with Tomatoes
Chickpeas, tomatoes, and baby kale make this a lighter option that’s still full of nutrients and flavor.

3-Ingredient Cauliflower Soup
All you need is cauliflower, broth, and a splash of cream for this simple soup that’s perfect when you want something quick and healthy.

Hearty & Protein-Packed Soups
Pasta Fagioli Soup for Fall
My absolute favorite soup, packed with ground beef, beans, pasta, and a savory tomato broth. I keep extra in the freezer for quick dinners on busy nights.

Italian Wedding Soup with Spinach
Little meatballs, fresh spinach, and optional pasta pearls come together in a broth that’s full of flavor. It’s a satisfying way to end a fall day.

Tortellini Meatball Soup
Cheesy tortellini and tender meatballs make this a hearty meal. It comes together fast, making it great for evenings when the sun is setting earlier.

Sausage Tortellini Soup with Spinach
A creamy soup that uses leftover sausage (like brats or Italian) paired with tortellini, spinach, and sweet potatoes. It’s a filling option when the weather cools.

Hamburger Soup
A classic ground beef and vegetable soup that’s easy to throw together and makes a big batch — perfect for leftovers the next day.

Chicken Based Soups
Matzo Ball Chicken Soup
Fluffy matzo balls floating in golden broth is exactly what I reach for when the temperatures drop or I feel a cold coming on.

Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup
Tender chicken in a slightly spicy broth topped with tortilla strips, cheese, or avocado. A simple way to bring Southwest flavors into your fall meal plan.

White Chicken Chili for Fall
A creamy chili made with chicken, white beans, and gentle spices. It’s lighter than a typical chili but still hearty enough for dinner.
Tex-Mex & Extra Flavor

Hearty Taco Soup
Ground beef, beans, tomatoes, and taco seasoning come together for a thick, satisfying soup. Top with cheese and chips for a fun dinner.

French Onion Soup with Three Toppings
Rich caramelized onions in a savory broth, finished your way with cheesy bread toppers. It’s impressive but surprisingly simple to make.
