My favourite part of fall are the warm and cozy, comforting and hearty fall soups. I could literally eat soup all day every day this time of year. Today I am sharing my top 25 warm and cozy fall soup recipes, ranging from smooth and creamy soup, hearty and meaty soup, noodle soup and ramen and so much more. There are lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options to choose from as well.

Ingredients
2 cups dried split peas, (≈1 pound), sorted and rinsedSteps
6½ cups liquid (water or chicken broth)
¾ cup chopped large onion, about 1 large onion
¾ cup finely chopped celery, about 2 medium stalks
1 tsp salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1¼ cups carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices, or julienned, about 3 medium carrots
1 ham bone or 2 lbs shanks or 2 lbs smoked pork hocks
1. Clean and soak peas overnight in plain water, drain and rinse.Expert Tips
2. Add 6½ cups liquid (water or chicken broth).
3. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 3 hours.
4. Use an immersion blender to coarsely break up the peas.
5. Add all ingredients except ham in slow cooker. Add meat on top.
6. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 5 to 7 hours.
7. Remove meat from cooker; place on cutting board. Pull meat from bones, using 2 forks; discard bones and skin. Stir shredded meat into soup. Stir well before serving.
• Preparing split peas for cooking is easy! Just pick over the dried split peas and discard any grit or discolored peas. Place the split peas in a bowl, and cover them with water. After a minute or two, remove any skins or split peas that float to the top. Finally, rinse the split peas in a colander. For peas that have been stored for years, soak overnight, drain and rinse before use.
• If desired, spice with 2 cloves minced garlic, ⅓ tsp dried thyme, ⅓ tsp crushed dried rosemary before cooking.
• Serve a grainy cornbread (don’t forget the honey butter or drizzle of maple syrup) and a spinach salad with fresh grapefruit or mandarin segments with the soup. The tart freshness of the citrus contrasts nicely with the rich, thick soup.
• We like ours with a lot of black pepper on the top and a splash or two of Tabasco!
That reminds me. Going to make some roasted red pepper soup this weekend.
a dash of dry sherry puts it over the top.
I found this recipe in our local newspaper health supplement last week and my wife made it last night. It is REALLY good -- we are getting our first blast of cold weather here in North Idaho, so it was perfect on a chilly night. My wife isn't a huge fan of highly spiced foods, so she left out the optional cayenne pepper (I would have preferred a dash of cayenne).

Here in South Texas it’s going to be another 90° day. While the calendar says it is Fall, it’s still too hot to be thinking about warm soup recipes.
Italian Wedding Soup, then all the rest.
I agree
1st thing I did after testing positive for Covid on Tues was to make a big pot of hamburger soup and a cake of cornbread to crumble in it. I’m convinced it’s helping covid...lol
