During the autumn season we go through a transition period and our body prepares for the arrival of winter. Now is the time to load up on vitamins and give yourself a big boost so you can get through the coldest part of the year without severe cases of the flu or bad colds that won’t go away. It’s not just about increasing your vitamin C intake. Your body needs a variety of nutrients to stay healthy, and let’s face it, colder weather also makes us crave certain comfort foods. Here are some excellent autumn soup ideas.

 

Miso soup

Miso Soup with Poached Eggs offers a delicious combination of flavour, protein, and some carbs to keep you going. It’s just what you need to warm up and fill your belly during your lunch break or as a first course.

 

Delicious chicken soup

Chicken noodle soup has protein, pasta, and vegetables. Not to mention lots of flavour and an amazing aroma too! This is the type of autumn soup that everyone loves and you can be sure that it will be a hit even with the little ones. When we get sick or suffer from a cold, chicken soup is usually the dish of choice. So why not start by cooking a little today?

 

Curried cauliflower

Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup is rich, with a little spice and lots of delicious nutrients. Even if you think you’re not a “cauliflower fan,” you’ll be surprised when you try a bowl of this autumn soup! If you’re not sure and want to try it, why not make a small batch and let your family try it too?

 

Other delicious creamy soups include mushroom as well as broccoli cheddar soup. Both of which are quite rich and absolutely delicious when served with garlic bread or, better yet, garlic Pita! They make the perfect first course and in some cases you and your family might even find them as a meal on their own. Remember, especially when it comes to creamy recipes, a smaller batch of your favourite autumn soup is ideal since you can usually expect it to keep in the fridge for about 2 – 3 days.
