27 Healthy Fall Soup Recipes

As the colder weather sets in, it’s time to have a bowl of warm soup. We are sharing multiple healthy fall soup recipes that will satisfy your tastebuds.

When it starts getting chilly outside, you know that fall is in the air. And with fall comes comfort food … lots of it.

Think stews, casseroles, and my favorite – soups.

But many soups can seem healthy on the outside. But when you look closely, they’re not so good.

That’s because they’re packed with saturated fats and calories. So, if you indulge in them, you pack on extra pounds.

That’s why I’m sharing 27 Healthy Fall Soup Recipes. They’ll not only warm you up but keep you on track with your healthy lifestyle.

To keep your soup nice, and fresh be sure to store it in airtight containers. I stick with glass containers like these.

That’s because they tend to keep food fresh longer than, say, plastic. They’re also ecologically friendly.

However, if you’re not a big fan of glass containers, BPA-free plastic containers like this are a great alternative.

This Easy Ginger Spinach Soup simplifies plant-based eating. It contains only 7 ingredients (if you don’t count the salt).

But best of all, it’s full of flavor. The ginger adds heat, while the garlic and onion powder add savory.
