I find almost nothing more comforting in this life than making a giant pot of soup on a chilly day. Soup season brings with it some of the best sounds and smells, from the sizzle of veggies hitting the skillet to the intoxicating scent of garlic floating through the air. Plus, soups are the original one pot meal. Just add a loaf of crusty bread, some easy drop biscuits, or skillet cornbread, and you’ve got a complete meal.
Whatever your budget or dietary needs, we have the perfect soup recipe for you. We made sure to include plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options, as well as creamy and meaty stews. Below the recipes, you can find tips for meal prep, storage, and our favorite side dishes for soup. So, grab your favorite pot (mine is this Dutch oven), and let’s find your new favorite fall soup!

Storage and Make-Ahead Instructions
- Soups are a great make-ahead and meal prep option. Make a big batch to enjoy for lunches all week long. Soup can easily be reheated in the microwave or on the stove top.
- Store soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To freeze leftover soup: Allow it to cool completely, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 4 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge then reheat on the stove top or in the microwave. Note that non-cream based soups that don’t include pasta are best for freezing. I sometimes freeze and enjoy pasta-based soups, but the pasta can be a bit mushy after thawing.
Side Dishes for Soup
Wondering what side dishes to make for soup? Try adding a loaf of crusty bread or biscuits for sopping up leftover broth. You can’t go wrong with a slice of buttered Amish White Bread, or try some Rosemary Foccacia or Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Salad is another great side for soup. We love That Good Salad or an Easy Garden Salad, but if you’d like to stay with the fall theme, pair your soup with an Autumn Pear Salad or Apple Fennel Salad.
And of course, a creamy squash soup is absolutely begging to have some grilled cheese dippers on the side. We love making Grilled Cheese in the Oven or Air Fryer Grilled Cheese. Both methods produce perfectly crispy, gooey grilled cheese, but the oven method is especially great to make large quantities for a crowd!
Helpful Tips for Soup Making
- Choose a large, heavy bottomed pot for making soup on the stove. An enameled cast iron pot in the 5-6 quart range is my favorite. I love this Le Creuset Dutch Oven, but this Lodge Dutch Oven is also a great budget friendly option.
- Many soup recipes can easily be converted to a slow cooker or instant pot. I really love this crock pot.
- For pureed soups, an immersion blender is the way to go. If you’re using a regular blender, be sure to place a thin towel underneath the lid, so steam can escape.
- Season as you go. Build flavor in your soups by seasoning as you go. If you’re sauteeing veggies, roast or ground beef, season them to taste with salt and pepper before moving on to the next step.
- Use a high quality broth. Chicken, veggie, or beef stock is the base of most soup recipes, so choose a good one or make your own. We love to keep Better than Bouillon in the fridge so we always have great broth on hand.
- Experiment! Soup is the best “kitchen sink” menu. Add whatever veggies might be wasting away in the produce bin or toss in leftover protein.
