As the days get shorter, chillier, and damper, nothing hits the spot quite like a steaming bowl of homemade soup. It's not a laborious job, in fact it can be really easy to make homemade soup that you and your family will love!!
These are 4 of my favorite recipes (all plant-based, low fat, but filling) from my fall collection. They are simple to make and healthy and hearty.
2. Baby Brussels Sprouts Soup in less than 20 minutes
Got a bag of frozen baby Brussels sprouts? Add it to a pot with other veggies and enjoy this delicious fall soup. It's flavorful and satisfying. I make it in 20 minutes total using in the Instant Pot. The stovetop takes just a little longer but is quick too.
3. Asian Soup in Just 10 Minutes
Baby bok choy, available at any supermarket, combined with a few other veggies such as mushrooms, sprouts, fresh ginger etc. makes a delicious soothing soup. Everything cooks in just minutes and is warming and comforting. Got rice noodles? Even better-
4. Creamy Red Lentil Pumpkin Soup
Do you love the taste of pumpkin? - use freshly sliced pumpkin (or any winter squash such as butternut) or to make it really easy use canned pumpkin puree for this yummy curried red lentil soup. The red lentils make this nourishing soup rich in protein too!
