💭 Tips For Making Cozy Fall Soups
Fall is a wonderful time to enjoy comforting and hearty soups that make the most of the season's fresh vegetables. Here are some tips for making delicious fall soups:
- Choose Seasonal Ingredients: Take advantage of the bounty of fall by using seasonal ingredients like butternut squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, kale, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. These ingredients are at their peak in flavor and freshness during the fall!
- Roast or Sauté Vegetables: Enhance the flavor of your soup by roasting or sautéing your vegetables before adding them to the soup pot.
- Experiment with Spices: Fall soups are known for their warm and cozy spices. Add a warm flavor with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and sage.
- Use Homemade Broth: Whenever possible, make your own broth. Homemade broth adds a depth of flavor that store-bought versions can't match.
- Incorporate Beans and Grains: To make your soups more filling and nutritious, add beans like cannellini, black beans, or lentils, as well as grains like barley, quinoa, or wild rice.
- Balance Sweet and Savory: Many fall ingredients have a natural sweetness. Balance this out with savory elements to create a well-rounded flavor profile.
- Batch Cooking: Fall soups often taste even better the next day as the flavors have time to meld. Consider making a big batch and freezing portions for later!

Best Fall Soup Recipes: Sopa de Chícharos (+More Tasty Ideas To Make!)
Ingredients
- 1 lb dried split peas (16 oz package - follow the directions to soak overnight if needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 large yellow sweet onion (diced)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 6-8 ribs celery (chopped)
- 3-4 large carrots (chopped)
- 4-5 medium red potatoes (chopped)
- 10-12 oz calabaza squash (or butternut squash)
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper (or more to taste)
- 10 oz ham (1 - 1 ½ lb ham shank with meat on it is ideal)
- 4 cups chicken broth (bone broth or stock)
- 4 cups water
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Soak the dried split green peas as needed, follow the package instructions to determine the quantity of water and length of time needed to ready your split peas. Rinse the peas thoroughly before and after soaking.
- In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped calabaza (or butternut) squash and chopped red potatoes.
- Add the liquid smoke, bay leaves, and seasoning (dried oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground chipotle pepper, salt, and pepper).
- Add the diced ham or a whole ham hock with plenty of meat still on the bone.
- Drain and rinse the soaked split peas and add them to the stock pot.
- Add the chicken stock or broth with an equal part of water and stir the ingredients.
- Cover and bring your soup to a rolling boil, stir and then reduce the heat.
- Simmer for about 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring the soup occasionally. After 1 hour of simmering, you would need to remove your ham bone. Allow the bone to cool for a few minutes, then pull any meat off the bone, shred it, and return the meat to your soup.
- Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking before serving. Also, if the soup consistency is not looking thick enough you can remove the lid for the last 20-30 minutes of the simmering cook time to help thicken your sopa de chicharos.
