Why we’re obsessed with soup season

Soup season is here—and if you’ve got a pot, you’ve got a cauldron. On brisk mornings and chilly nights, there’s nothing better than cozying up with a steaming bowl of nourishing soup. It’s like a hug from the inside out.

Since we can’t hug you IRL, we’re doing the next best thing: rounding up our most-loved Whole30 soup recipes to keep you warm, full, and satisfied all season long.

How do we love soups? Let us count the ways!

  1. Soups are often one-pot meals, making cleanup a breeze.
  2. Most recipes make a big batch—meaning one kitchen mess = many meals to freeze or meal prep.
  3. Soups aren’t just for lunch or dinner—yes, you can absolutely enjoy a cozy, egg-free breakfast soup.

So break out your cauldron of choice and cozy in with 15 of our favorite, soul-warming Whole30 soup recipes.
