10 Vegetarian Soups & Stews for Fall

It’s been just about a week since the first day of fall here in the northern hemisphere, and it’s finally starting to cool down a bit around here. One of the best things about fall is trading out summery salads and sandwiches for hearty soups and stews.

Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or an omnivore, these meat-free recipes are sure to please!

1. Quinoa and Vegetable Soup

Quinoa is a nutritional superstar, and its nutty taste will ensure that you don’t miss the meat in this tasty soup.

2. Vegan Fricot

Kim at The Vegan Mouse gives a veggie twist to this traditional Acadian dish. Loaded with veggies and tofu, this makes for a filling meal with a piece of crusty bread for dipping.

3. Black Bean Soup

Black bean soup is always a crowd pleaser! Serve with toppings like minced scallions or onions, diced tomatoes, avocado, your favorite salsa, and sour cream and cheese (dairy or vegan versions). Kids will love building a custom bowl of soup with toppings they choose.

Up next: Eggplant stew, (no) chicken and rice, and spicy lentil soup.

I am making the eggplant and peanut stew as I write this! Had all of the ingredients except okra, so why wait! Added a couple more veggies I had on hand, too!
