EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Close Grab a bowl of these fall soups for a nourishing and cozy meal. These recipes feature seasonal ingredients like spinach, apples, cauliflower and butternut squash. Plus, these dishes are lower in calories and high in fiber and/or protein, which can help you feel satisfied for longer periods of time. Recipes like Curried Parsnip & Apple Soup and Turkey & Wild Rice Soup with Vegetables are delicious, warming and nutritious, all while supporting your health goals. 01 of 19 Escarole, Cannellini Bean & Sausage Soup Dera Burreson This soup would be equally satisfying if you took it in a vegetarian direction and skipped the sausage and used no-chicken broth. View Recipe 02 of 19 Curried Parsnip & Apple Soup This creamy parsnip and apple soup recipe has amazing flavor from the combination of curry powder, coriander, cumin and ginger. Be sure to use fresh curry powder when making this soup. Not sure if yours is fresh? Open the jar: the aroma should meet your nose immediately. Serve with flatbread or whole-wheat rolls. View Recipe 03 of 19 Turkey & Wild Rice Soup with Vegetables Leftover turkey has never been so delicious. Wild rice adds a nutty flavor—plus extra protein and fiber—to this creamy, hearty soup. View Recipe 04 of 19 Coconut Curry Squash Soup with Spiced Seeds Jacob Fox In this curried butternut squash soup, we leave the tender chunks of squash intact to give the soup texture. If you are starting with a whole squash, you can toast its seeds in place of the pepitas. View Recipe 05 of 19 Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup with Kale This healthy, easy soup is loaded with vegetables, protein and fiber to keep you full and fueled. Serve this winter soup topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of garlic toast. View Recipe 06 of 19 Instant Pot Lentil Soup This Instant Pot lentil soup is quick enough to prepare when you get home from work for an easy weeknight dinner. This vegetarian soup recipe is full of aromatic vegetables, brown lentils and fresh spinach. A splash of balsamic vinegar brightens the flavor, and a garnish of radish and parsley gives this comforting soup a fresh finish. View Recipe 07 of 19 Sweet Potato Soup with Crispy Tortilla Topping This easy tortilla soup is a satisfying vegetarian riff on the classic dish. Make this a vegan tortilla soup by using vegetable broth and omitting the queso fresco topping. View Recipe 08 of 19 Roasted Cauliflower & Potato Curry Soup Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food Stylist: Lauren McAnelly, Prop Stylist: Maura Timmerman In this healthy cauliflower soup recipe, roasting the cauliflower first adds depth and prevents the florets from turning to mush. A little tomato sauce and coconut milk give the broth a rich, silky texture. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired. View Recipe 09 of 19 Smoked Gouda-Broccoli Soup Smoked paprika and smoked Gouda give this broccoli-and-cheese soup recipe a double hit of smoky flavor. If you can't find smoked Gouda, smoked Cheddar gives delicious results as well. View Recipe 10 of 19 Slow-Cooker Vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Apple You'll never guess this crock pot butternut squash soup recipe is just dump-and-go simple. The boost of flavor from maple syrup, apple-cider vinegar and spices makes all the difference! Serve this light soup as an appetizer for a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast or with a salad and crusty bread for weeknight dinners. View Recipe 11 of 19 Wonton Soup with Shrimp, Mushrooms & Brussels Sprouts Wontons for a weeknight dinner? They're faster to make than you might think—no frozen wontons required! We used wonton wrappers from the grocery store to cut down on prep time. For the filling, we added fall veggies—Brussels sprouts and umami-rich mushrooms—for a flavor and texture boost. View Recipe 12 of 19 Smoky Black Bean & Pepper Soup Unlike many black bean soups, this Cuban-inspired one is pepper-packed and leaves the beans intact for a more interesting texture. It's equally delicious served on its own or over rice. View Recipe 13 of 19 Lemony Lentil Soup with Collards You don't need broth for this lentil soup recipe—it's rich thanks to the browned bits in the bottom of the pan that meld into the soup, packing it with flavor. Ground coriander, from the seed of the cilantro plant, has a floral, citrusy flavor that dovetails nicely with the lemon. View Recipe 14 of 19 Kohlrabi, Potato & Leek Soup Kohlrabi is a root vegetable related to cabbage that can be eaten raw or cooked. Here, we blend it with potatoes for a more nutritious take on the classic potato-leek soup. View Recipe 15 of 19 White Bean Soup with Tomato & Shrimp With capers and olives, this heart-healthy soup draws inspiration from Italian puttanesca sauce. Serve with crusty whole-grain bread to soak up the broth. View Recipe 16 of 19 Butternut Squash Soup with Avocado & Chickpeas Jazz up a can of soup by adding protein with chickpeas and flavor with curry powder. Stir in a little Greek yogurt to make it creamy. View Recipe 17 of 19 Instant Pot Chicken Soup with Root Vegetables & Barley Be sure to use bone-in chicken here—it enhances the flavor of the broth, and the bones are easy to remove after cooking. This healthy chicken soup can be made in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. View Recipe 18 of 19 Beef Soup with Root Vegetables Potatoes, turnips and sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness to traditional beef soup in this low-calorie recipe. View Recipe 19 of 19 Linguica, Kale & Red Bean Soup This vegetable-packed soup is inspired by caldo verde, a Portuguese soup made with kale, potatoes and linguica sausage. We added protein-rich kidney beans, tomatoes and carrots to make it more substantial. If you can't find linguica, andouille sausage or chorizo makes a delicious substitute.
