Simple Fall Soups

Leaves changing colors and beginning to fall to the ground. Getting dark sooner, getting cooler earlier, maybe a little rain starting to trickle? All these things make me think of Autumn and my mind instantly turns to warm bowls of soup. I have gathered a collection of Simple Fall Soups that do not take tons of time to cook so they can be made any night of the week!

I have two “secrets” for making soups quickly but full of flavor. And neither requires an extra kitchen appliance like a Crock Pot or InstaPot. The first is BROTH! Be it vegetable, chicken, or beef – using broth instead of water will always give you a leg up in the flavor game. And secondly, dried herbs – use them often and us more than you think. Fresh herbs are great and give good flavors but dried herbs develop faster in a mostly liquid environment like soup. **Extra Tip** Place the dried herbs in a bowl and use the back of a spoon (you could also use a pestle and mortar if you have one) to gently press the herbs. Don’t crush them to a powder by any mean, just a gentle pressing to help release the flavors quicker.
