Rich and hearty autumn vegetable soup full of autumn vegetables and fiber-rich beans. This simple meal is free of gluten, grains, and dairy!
I’m one of those weirdos who likes to eat soup year round. It could be a hundred degrees outside and I’ll go in and make a big pot of soup for lunch. I guess you could say it’s as weird as drinking hot coffee throughout the day, which many of us are guilty of as well. š
I love chunky soups that are full of hearty vegetables. They’re not only filling, but they’re a great way to get some veggies into my kids. They also help clean out the produce drawers of my fridgeāperfect way to use up your soon-to-expire veggies!
Sweet butternut squash, tender potatoes, and green, leafy kale bites soak up all of that delicious broth and become little flavor bombs in your mouth.
The nice thing about soups like this is that you can easily customize them to use your favorite veggies or what you happen to have on hand. Use swiss chard instead of kale, sweet potatoes instead of russet, or carrots instead of butternut squash…the possibilities are endless!
The only thing that makes this soup better is a side of warm, crusty bread. Oh, so good! I hope you add this to your weekly menu, and please, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you snap a pic! Happy fall, everyone!

I made this for us this week and it came out great! We used acorn squash, sweet potato, and kale. It came out great! To decrease the sodium even further for about a quarter of the amount needed I used unsalted broth. LOTS of great flavor and for a vegetable soup it is so hearty! Will definitely make again
Wow ! It’s looks like very delicious. We can made it of fresh vegetable. Vegetable is good for all. Thanks .
Thank you!

I’m one of those weirdos too! =) Gimme all the hot coffee and hot soup all year round! Travis always complains if I make soup during the summer but I can’t help myself! It’s good for the budget, it’s an easy way to get some extra veggies in him, and it’s just darn tasty!

This is such a beautiful autumn soup! I love the texture and the colors in this soup and I know it must be so flavorful. I make something similar but with cannelini beans like a minestrone soup and with small pasta. It is not as cold here as yet. Still warm haha. So once the cooler weather starts, soups will start here too š Enjoy your weekend Joscelyn!
