❤️ Why you’ll love these fall soup recipes
You’ll love these soup recipes and want to keep making them again and again! The recipes in this fall soup recipe collection are:
- warm and nourishing.
- full of in-season fall vegetables.
- easy to customize and make dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian (see each individual recipe for details).
- versatile. We’ve got slow cooker soups, Instant Pot soups, Dutch oven soups, and traditional stovetop soups.
- freezer-friendly. Most of the soups in this recipe collection can be frozen, making them perfect for meal prep!
🥗 What to serve with these soups
Another great thing to love about soup is that it can be served as either a main course or as a side dish.
If enjoying these soup recipes as side dishes, consider serving them with equally satisfying main courses. Fall favorites like our dairy-free mac and cheese, Instant Pot sirloin tip roast, and rigatoni alla vodka all go well with sides of soup.
If you’re serving soup as a main course, serve it with a couple of lighter sides. An arugula pear salad or broccoli crunch salad would be delicious with a side of soup.
And of course, you’ve gotta have some crusty bread to soak up all that delicious soup! Enjoy soup with a side of air fryer garlic bread, pesto bread, or garlic parmesan knots.
🍷 Wine pairing for soup
In pairing wines with soup, here are a few general guidelines.
- The lighter the soup, the lighter the wine. Pair a light chicken noodle soup with a Sauvignon Blanc white wine.
- A richer soup that is not tomato based, like a pumpkin sausage soup, would pair well with a crisp unoaked Chardonnay.
- If the soup has richer flavors or has darker meat, pair it with a red wine with bigger tannins. A rich, hearty beef stew would pair deliciously with a rich, bold Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Asian flavors, like those found in wonton soup or homemade ramen, pair well with a dry or slightly off-dry Riesling.
- What grows together, goes together. So if you’re enjoying an Italian wedding soup or a lasagna soup, pair it with an Italian red wine like a Barolo or Chianti.

It’s sooo good! You’ll have to try it! :)
Soups are the ultimate #fall food. Best way to make soups (in my opinion) is in the crockpot! Let it go low and slow all day and have a hot and ready meal by dinner time!
Crock pots are the best for soup! Gives all of the flavors plenty of time to soak in!
We are making soup at least 2-3 times a week now with the chilly weather! I have especially been loving curried lentil soup which is first on your list. Looking forward to trying some of these others!
