As a season, fall has a lot going for it: tailgates, cozy sweaters and all kinds of new shows to binge. But everyone knows that the most important thing about autumn is that it marks the beginning of soup season. It's comfort in a bowl—the perfect complement to crisp evenings.
But what happens when your evenings are crammed with running a quick errand while rescheduling that doctor's appointment as you shuttle kids from soccer to piano practice to Girl Scout troop meetings? So many fall soup recipes look delightful...until you realize they require two hours over the stove and trips to three different grocery stores just to track down all the ingredients. No, thanks.
That's why I've vetted more than 100 of the internet's most popular recipes (including editor favorites, like our Slow Cooker French Onion and Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice) to bring you my top 40 easy fall soups. You'll find pumpkin, butternut squash and the like here, but I tried to highlight a range of flavors—all picks that taste great and require minimal effort on your part.
