Vegetarian Seasonal Soups for Autumn

Pinto Bean, Tomato and Butternut Squash Soup

Recipe - Moosewood Restaurant (photo by Beth Segal)

Rustic, hearty and warming. Everything you want in a soup. This recipe calls for canned pinto beans and tomatoes but if you're not a fan of the can, you could always opt for dried beans and passata.

Chilli Pumpkin and Wild Mushroom Soup
- Allegra McEvedy

You've got to have a pumpkin soup during October and this is a good one to try. It's from the Leon Cookbook. I'd leave out the Parmesan but if you are vegetarian, remember to use a vegetarian-style Parmesan cheese as regular Parmesan is not vegetarian.

For a little comfort food, try this nurturing soup made with potatoes, leeks and fennel. You just need to switch the stock to make this vegetarian-friendly.

Mixed Mushroom Soup
- Whole Living

I've featured this recipe from Whole Living before but had to include it again. With its abundance of mushrooms, it's the perfect fall food.

Carrot, Apple and Ginger Soup
- Whole Foods Market

This comes with a side of cheese crisps but as a vegan, I'd switch those for a hunk of country-style bread. For another carrot soup idea, you might like Gourmet's Curried Carrot Almond Soup.

Celeriac and Pear Soup
- Olive Magazine

Here's another autumnal vegetable and fruit combo that looks luscious (plus it's cream-free and butter-free so you can ladle up!).
