When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing better than a big, cosy bowl of nourishment. So to make it easier for you to find a good recipe, here is my collection of the best autumn and winter soups.
One of the best things about soup? It’s sooooo easy to make. Chop up some veggies, throw everything into a pan, let it simmer, and there you have it! Many soups only need one pot, which also means less washing up! They’re a great way to use up any leftover veggies hanging around in your fridge. Whether you like them thick and creamy or brothy and packed with chunks, there’s a recipe here to suit everyone.
All of the recipes in this best autumn & winter soups collection are packed with all the best seasonal flavours. They use some of my favourite autumn and winter favourites such as butternut squash, carrots and sweet potatoes. I also like to add in warm spices like cumin and seasonal herbs like sage and rosemary. They not only add to the flavour but they up the nutrition too!
And let’s not forget how brilliant soups are for meal prep. They keep well in the fridge, freeze brilliantly, and often taste even better the next day as the flavours deepen. Make a big batch on a Sunday, and you’ve got easy, ready-to-go meals for the week. So grab your biggest pot and let’s get cooking—your perfect winter warmers are here!
