Fall Into a Bowl of Our Favorite Fall Soups!
It is almost Fall here in the Rocket City. The weather has been just about as gorgeous as we could ever ask for. But I know the really cold weather is on it’s way, and I have pulled out all of my soup recipe cards. We have already been enjoying soup a couple times a week.
Why Fall Soup is the Perfect Food
Soup is one of the most popular foods of Fall for a lot of reasons.
- It warms us from the inside out.
- You can have a pot of soup simmering away on the stove all evening or in the slow cooker all day and dinner is ready whenever you are.
- Soup is a very budget-friendly meal that stretches easily and the leftovers are even better.
- It can be made ahead and frozen.
- There is something magical about a big ol’ bowl of the homemade stuff on a cold and dreary day, and especially when we are sick.
- A lot of parents of picky eaters have success with getting their kids to try new foods if they put it in soup.
- I know my husband won’t touch kale with a 10 foot pole, Â but he will eat a big ol’ bowl of Zuppa Toscana filled with kale without a second thought. (But let’s not tell him….)

There is something for everyone here to ‘FALL’ for in this collection of soup and chili recipes. Several recipes have been passed down from our families, and I am so happy to share them with you. From our family to yours: Happy Fall!
