Ribollita

Recipe by: Julie Van Rosendaal

Loaded with cannellini beans, sausage and spinach, ribollita is a hearty Tuscan soup that’s made to revive stale crusty bread—so go ahead and throw a few torn-up pieces of baguette into the bowl before ladling in a scoop. You’d be dipping it in anyway!

Roasted Sweet Potato Bisque with Kale Salsa

Recipe by: Lawren Moneta

Who says you can’t serve comfort food at a fancy fall gathering? With its silky texture and rich flavour, this sweet potato bisque is perfect for entertaining. The kale-apple salsa is a stroke of genius, too. Guests will be asking for the recipe before the evening is over.

Avgolemono (Egg, Lemon and Chicken Soup)

Recipe by: Mary Burgers

We know this soup doesn’t actually have healing powers, but there’s something about it that definitely makes us feel better when the sniffles strike. It’s bright and tangy yet oh-so-comforting on a chilly fall day. Take the time to make the broth from scratch or whip up a batch in less than 20 minutes using store-bought stock and a rotisserie chicken.

Recipe by: Amélie Nguyễn

Quick Miso Noodle Soup

Recipe by: Janell Lo

It can be difficult to determine whether a sushi restaurant’s miso soup contains gluten, so take the guesswork out of your takeout order with this homemade version. Sure, it requires a little more effort than swiping through a food delivery app—but we promise it’s worth it.

Bloody Mary Minestrone

Recipe by: Lawren Moneta

One of the best things about minestrone is how easily you can make it your own. Toss in whatever seasonal vegetables, beans and leftover grains you have on hand, or try something a little different with this Bloody Mary-inspired recipe. A little horseradish, a splash of vodka and suddenly, this soup is ready for brunch.
