Warm up on a cool fall night with a pot of soup that's totally satisfying—and also happens to be good for you too. These lightened-up fall soups are comforting, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients like greens, beans, lean ground turkey, shredded chicken, and root vegetables. Make a pot of soup tonight for a healthy dinner the whole family will enjoy. (And the next day too—if you're lucky enough to have leftovers.)

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Soup

This recipe is made with whole pumpkin, which is roasted in the oven, but to save time, you can use canned pureed (plain) pumpkin. Either way will result in a smooth and creamy soup that’s full of fall flavor.
