Happy Sunday beautiful people <3 It’s Fall, the sun is already completely set by 6:30PM, we’re adding those extra blankets to our bed and unplugging our AC units…and you know what that means….It’s soup season.

I am finally starting to crave that warm bowl of nourishing cozy and healing soup, with a crispy golden piece of fresh warm sourdough bread smothered in butter.

It is absolutely essential to have a piece of sourdough bread alongside soup, so make sure you check out my guide to sourdough because tis’ the season to be baking bread (it always is….) & it makes the best most thoughtful gifts.

Sourdough also makes the best grilled cheese dippers UGH I am hungry!!!

I have 12 nourishing, soup-for-the-soul recipes for ya. Including 2 broths (because broth from scratch is always better — and cheaper), and a chili (which….I believe is a soup).

Loading...

On The Menu:

  • Carrot Ginger Soup

  • Roasted Tomato Soup (w/ grilled cheese dippers)

  • Immune Supporting + Spicy Sinus Clearing Soup

  • Cure-all Pickle + Sauerkraut Soup

  • Golden Glow Soup

  • Lasagna Soup

  • Healing Chicken Soup

  • Spicy Chicken Curry Noodle Soup

  • Butternut Squash Soup

  • No-Waste Veggie Broth

  • Gelatinous Bone Broth

  • One-Pot Beanless Bison Chili

PS: If you don’t feel like making homemade bone broth, Fond is my favorite bone broth ever. Been drinking it for over 4 years now. It is the most quality broth I’ve ever had — regenerative, organic ingredients, gelatinous and nutritious, glass bottled and family owned. Plus the flavors are fabulous. Outside of the unflavored beef, I love the turmeric chicken and bay leaf n’ ACV, but you can’t go wrong with any. My discount code is “glowwithella”. Cheers.
