Autumn Vegetable Soup

Autumn Vegetable Soup | Veggie-rich and 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. 😉

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 helps to clean out the produce drawers of my fridge too—perfect 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!

Recipe type: Main, Gluten-Free, Vegan
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups russet potato, peeled and chopped (sweet potato can be used instead)
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and chopped (sweet potato, carrots, or another winter squash can be used instead)
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 64 ounces low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence or italian seasoning
  • pinch of allspice, optional
  • 4-5 cups (1 bunch) kale or swiss chard, tough stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 cans Red Kidney or Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (I used one of each. Substitute 2 cups of extra veggies in the place of these beans if paleo/whole30)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, potato, squash and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and sauté for 4-5 minutes. If omitting beans in a whole 30/paleo diet, add 2 cups of extra veggies (like chopped carrots, sweet potatoes, or winter squash) now.
  2. Add kale and sauté until wilted. Add the whole can of diced tomatoes, beans, broth, bay leaves, and herbs/spices. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5-6 minutes, until potatoes/squash have softened. Season with additional salt and pepper, as needed. Serve warm with fresh parsley sprinkled on top.

  1. 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

  6. 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!

    Your soup looks delicious Joscelyn, I’ll definitetly be adding it to my list!

  9. 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 🙂 Enjoy your weekend Joscelyn!
