At Starpack, we’re all about creating moments of comfort in the kitchen, so we’ve put together a list of cozy fall soups that will make you fall in love with this season all over again.
1. Creamy Pumpkin Soup with Sage
Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and lattes—it’s the star ingredient in this creamy, velvety soup that embodies the essence of fall. Roasted pumpkin pairs beautifully with aromatic sage, creating a soup that’s rich, flavorful, and utterly comforting. To make it, roast your pumpkin with a drizzle of olive oil until caramelized, then blend it with sautéed onions, garlic, and a touch of cream. The result is a smooth and silky soup that’s perfect for a cozy night in. Serve it with a sprinkle of crispy sage leaves and a swirl of cream, using Starpack’s LFGB-certified silicone ladle to serve up this autumnal delight.
2. Rustic Tomato Basil Soup
There’s something timeless about a bowl of tomato basil soup, especially when it’s made with ripe, in-season tomatoes. This rustic version combines roasted tomatoes with garlic, onions, and fresh basil, all simmered together to create a soup that’s bursting with flavor. The key to this soup is the roasting, which brings out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes. Blend everything until smooth, and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Starpack’s silicone turner is perfect for stirring the ingredients as they roast, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
3. Hearty Lentil and Vegetable Soup
For a soup that’s as nutritious as it is comforting, try a hearty lentil and vegetable soup. This protein-packed soup is loaded with earthy lentils, tender root vegetables, and a medley of spices that give it a warming, satisfying flavor. Start by sautéing onions, garlic, and carrots in a large pot. Add in your lentils, vegetable broth, and a mix of your favorite seasonal vegetables—think sweet potatoes, kale, and squash. Let it simmer until everything is tender and the flavors have melded together. This soup is perfect for meal prepping and makes a great lunch or dinner option throughout the week.
4. Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
Fall is the season of squash, and this roasted butternut squash and apple soup is a must-try. The sweetness of the squash pairs perfectly with the tartness of the apples, creating a soup that’s both comforting and refreshing. Roast your butternut squash and apples until golden and caramelized, then blend them with sautéed onions, garlic, and a hint of cinnamon. The result is a thick, creamy soup that’s both sweet and savory, with a touch of fall spice. Use Starpack’s silicone spoonula to scrape every last bit of goodness from your blender, ensuring a smooth and delicious soup every time.
5. Classic French Onion Soup
No list of cozy fall soups would be complete without the classic French onion soup. This rich, savory soup is made with caramelized onions simmered in beef broth, topped with a slice of toasted baguette and a layer of melted Gruyère cheese. The slow caramelization of the onions is key to developing the deep, complex flavor that makes this soup so special. Starpack’s silicone whisk is perfect for gently stirring the onions as they cook, ensuring they caramelize evenly and don’t burn. Once the soup is ready, ladle it into oven-safe bowls, top with bread and cheese, and broil until bubbly and golden.
As the leaves turn and the air cools, there’s no better way to embrace the season than with a pot of homemade soup simmering on the stove. These cozy fall soups are not just meals; they’re moments of warmth and comfort, made even better with Starpack’s eco-friendly kitchen tools. Whether you’re savoring the rich flavors of a classic French onion soup or the vibrant taste of a roasted pumpkin soup, our kitchenware is designed to help you create meals that bring the essence of fall to your table.
