If soup season had a fan club, I’d probably be president—not even joking!
The moment temps drop (or I’ve had one too many “I can’t think about dinner” days), a big pot of something cozy becomes my entire personality.
And for anyone trying to eat plant-forward without sacrificing flavor, vegan soups are basically the quiet overachievers.
They’re nourishing, budget-friendly, and often way easier to make than people think. Plus, there’s something satisfying about creating a bowl that feels indulgent but is secretly packed with good-for-you ingredients.
