Silky smooth, packed full of flavor, and topped with a French-inspired variation on pesto, this butternut squash bisque is what soup dreams are made of. The orange-hued base features sautéed onions, garlic, and thyme to create a rich bisque where every slurp tastes like a spoonful of liquid gold. The secret to producing the perfect velvety texture is to add a can of creamy butter beans into the mix and puree everything with an immersion blender. Once spooned into bowls, a drizzle of pepita and parsley pistou—a sauce that normally features basil and olive oil—is ideal for swirling into the soup. Serve this butternut bisque with a side of crusty whole grain bread for an extra hearty meal. 

For more soup inspiration, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 10 cups
Time: 35 minutes
  • ¼ cup raw pepitas or raw cashews
  • 2 cups packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lb. butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 15-oz. cans no-salt-added butter beans, rinsed and drained (3 cups)
  • 1 cup unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1.  For pistou, place pepitas in a bowl. Cover with boiling water. Let soak 10 minutes; drain. Place pumpkin seeds in a food processor with parsley, yeast, vinegar, the 2 chopped garlic cloves, and the oregano. Process until nearly smooth, adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to reach desired consistency.
  2. In a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven cook onion over medium 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add minced garlic; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add squash and broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until squash is very tender, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients. Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth. (Or transfer to a blender in batches; cover and blend until smooth. Return to pot.) Heat through. Serve soup with a swirl of pistou.

Velvety smooth and packed full of luscious flavor, this curried sweet potato soup is ideal for cozying up to on cold nights. Bell peppers and onion are roasted alongside the sweet potatoes to draw out their natural sweetness, and then all the veggies are tossed in a blender with curry powder, red pepper flakes, garlic, and apple cider vinegar for a touch of acidity. If you have a high-speed blender, you can heat the soup on your blender’s soup setting and skip reheating it in a pot. Once the soup is ready to serve, top each bowl with crunchy pumpkin seeds for some nice textural contrast, and dig in.

There isn’t a more autumnal veggie stew than this! Packed full of seasonal produce and warming spices, you’ll love how this hearty recipe fills you up on a chilly evening. Cubes of tender kabocha squash are roasted alongside carrots, mushrooms, and fennel to draw out their natural sweetness while store-bought veggie broth gets an upgrade with lots of Italian herbs. Each serving of stew is spooned over a base of chewy farro that’s flecked with fresh basil and pine nuts, adding a little extra oomph to each bite. Crack a little black pepper over the top, and you’ve got the green light to dig in!

Tip: Kabocha squash looks like a little green pumpkin. For easier peeling, cut it in half, lay it cut side down on a cutting board, and use a chef’s knife to shave off the peel.

This belly-warming vegan taco soup has everything you love about the classic hand-held Mexican snack: Smoky seasonings, hearty ingredients, and strips of savory corn tortillas. It starts with roasting tomatoes, onions, and chile peppers until they are browned and full of flavor, then blending them into a paste that forms the base of the soup. From there, juicy corn kernels, hearty black beans, and meaty jackfruit are added into the mix to provide hunger-busting substance. Cilantro and lime add brightness to the broth, while baked tortilla strips make for a crunchy topper. Top everything with extra jalapeño slices if you’re a fan of heat, or feel free to add a dash of your favorite hot sauce. 

Tip: The soup base in Step 1 can be made ahead of time and frozen for later use.

This brothy Burmese dish is a fragrant one-pot meal packed full of noodles, vegetables, and curried soup. Instead of the traditional coconut milk used in khow suey, this version is thickened with chickpea flour, which gives the soup a creamy texture without all the added fat. Spicy ginger, zesty lime juice, and aromatic cilantro form a trifecta of flavor that heightens the savory yellow curry spices. This is a great meal to throw together on a busy weeknight because you can use any pack of frozen veggies you have on hand and any type of noodle tucked away in your pantry. If you want to kick up the heat, drizzle sriracha over each serving.
