While crunchy, eat-the-rainbow salads, like these 20 Healthy Fall Salads, are my go-to year-round, I crave a cozy bowl of soup when cold weather hits. Not that it gets all that cold here in San Diego. 😉
Not only is soup the perfect vehicle for eating a wide variety of plants, but it’s also a great way to hydrate. Additionally, if you’re managing your weight, many soups are filling yet light in calories—a win-win!

DIY Soup Recipes
Craving more gluten-free soup recipes? Making your own is so easy when you have a variety of simple ingredients on hand. The perfect recipe to make an easy and delicious soup is as follows:
- Heat olive oil or another vegetable oil in a large soup pot, Dutch oven, or stockpot. I LOVE my Le Creuset Cast Iron Dutch Oven for making soup. Add onions and garlic (skip this step for low FODMAP soup) and saute over medium-high heat until softened,
- Add additional ingredients as desired, including protein (chicken, turkey, beef, pork) and vegetables. Cook them for a few minutes to brown or lightly soften. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings.
- Pour vegetable broth or chicken stock over the soup ingredients. Increase the heat to high to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until your protein is cooked through and your vegetables are at the desired consistency. Add additional salt, pepper, and seasonings to taste.
- Enjoy your gluten-free soup as is, or add ingredients, including cooked beans, lentils, cooked pasta, cooked gluten-free grains, milk, or coconut milk. Serve as is or puree it with your hand blender or a regular blender for the creamiest, dreamiest soup.
- Optional: Add fresh herbs, microgreens, freshly ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, chopped nuts, seeds, spices, and more for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Storage: Keep extra soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or in the freezer
