There is a quote that says, “Happiness is hot soup on a cold day,” and when the season’s change and fall begins, soups probably start reappearing on your menu. They are warm. They are hearty. They are delicious.

And, most often, soups are quite easy to make. Often they involve only one pot (or a slow cooker or Instant Pot), and you might even have all of the ingredients you need in your refrigerator and pantry. Of course, there are so many different soup recipes out there you could easily make a different one every night of the week – and here are a few to get you started.

• Herby French Shallot Soup: If you love French onion soup, you will definitely love this Herby French Shallot soup. Wine, shallots, onions, and fresh thyme and sage make this dish extremely flavorful. And gruyère and blue cheese atop the bread – delicious!
• Tortellini Soup with Sausage: If you are looking for a one-pot supper, then look no further. This soup has it all! Meat, pasta, vegetables, and beans – making it very hearty! Perfect for a cool fall night. Serve it with a slice of your favorite bread just to soak up all of the yummy broth!
• Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Pie Crust Crackers: This soup is super easy to make as it uses several shortcuts to save you time. Rotisserie chicken, frozen shredded hash browns, and store-bought pie crust will definitely save you some time in the kitchen, but won’t compromise the flavor one bit.

• Roasted Butternut Squash Soup: Pumpkin soup seems to garnish all the attention in the fall, but this butternut squash soup is equally delicious. The apples add a hint of sweetness, and the color is gorgeous when you’re finished. This soup is a perfect starter at your next dinner party!
