Recipes: Fall Soups

Black Bean and Squash Soup This recipe from the JBF Award–winning cookbook Love Soup may be vegetarian, but the base of blended kabocha squash, black beans, and epazote leaves is hearty and complex. Butternut Squash Soup with Pumpkin Seed Mousse Gussied up with crème fraîche and truffle honey, this is a butternut squash soup for a dinner party. Creamy Beer SoupThis heady soup calls for a whole 750-millileter bottle of beer, so be sure to use high-quality brew, preferably a robust, full-bodied Trappist ale from Belgium. Roasted Pumpkin Stew with Yogurt and Indian Spices Whole-milk yogurt imparts some refreshing tang to this garam masala–spiced stew. Butternut Squash Bisque This is the butternut squash soup that Gary Danko makes at home, and it works well with a variety of garnishes. Putting the soup through a food mill will result in a chunkier texture. Roasted Apple and Squash Chowder Apples deeply roasted in butter and cinnamon; maple syrup; baking spices: this chowder stars all of our favorite fall flavors.
