If there’s anything we crave most when the weather gets cold, it’s a comforting bowl of soup. Our recipe for a rustic autumn soup really hits the spot, with tender potatoes and carrots, hearty white beans and plenty of herbs for flavor. It even has just-tender cauliflower florets to add some texture. It’s really the perfect meal to warm us up after a chilly day of raking leaves, and it goes great with crusty bread or fresh biscuits.

We like to cut our vegetables small so that they cook quickly, which makes this a great weeknight dinner recipe, and the leftovers are great for lunch the next day. Soup season is officially here, and we can’t wait to grab a spoon and dive into a bowl of this super simple and delicious autumn soup.
