Shorter days and cooler nights are best confronted with fall soups designed to warm and comfort. Dishes that come together quickly and don’t require a glut of pots, pans or utensils to make, soups are the whole package when it comes to mealtime satisfaction. Hearty, rich and savory, laden with all manner of tasty tidbits, soups are endlessly versatile and perpetually appealing.
Though chilled soups beckon when temperatures soar, warm soup recipes for fall are bolder and heartier, flush with robust ingredients that help to ward off the season’s chill. Some of our favorites? No measure, no mess Success® Rice grains — including rice, pearl couscous and quinoa — that ensure every bowl is a complete meal! Speedy and hassle-free, each bag of jasmine rice, tri-color quinoa, and more cooks up in minutes, meaning you’ll be yelling “soup’s on!” before you know it.
Not only is soup a crowd-pleaser for carnivores, vegetarians, and everyone in-between, it’s also a meal that stretches to feed any pack of hungry diners. Simple additions — think a can of beans or tomatoes, another bag of rice, more broth or a few handfuls of leafy greens — can make a soup meant for 4 big enough to feed 6, or more. Though these soups are sufficient as is, we doubt you’ll hear any complaints if you serve them alongside crackers and cheese or warm, buttery rolls.
If you somehow end up with leftovers, few things are as easy to store (in the fridge or freezer) and reheat as soup! Packed for tomorrow’s lunch at work or school, or revived as a second weeknight dinner, these hearty fall soups never disappoint.
So, pull out the stock pot and get cooking! Celebrate the season of coziness with hearty fall soups, and you might not feel quite as glum as you bid summer a fond farewell.
