4. Pumpkin

I love this recipe so much, I put it in another post, too. The Pioneer Woman’s is not only the best pumpkin soup recipe I’ve tried, but she provides pictures with each step. Then, she suggests serving the soup in hollowed out pumpkins, with a bit of cream and pumpkin seeds for decoration, which makes the final product even more perfect.

5. Borscht

Though it’s most popular in Eastern European countries and or restaurants, borscht is becoming more and more popular stateside, as well. Beets are very good for you (they provide lots of potassium, fiber, and vitamins, like A, B, and C), and they create a delicious soup, not to mention one that’s beautiful in color. Get the recipe.
