I’ve been on a bit of a soup kick lately and this Fall Harvest Soup has become a delicious and easy go to meal! Serve it with a simple salad and some crusty bread and you’ve got yourself a meal that you’re going to want over and over again this Fall and Winter.
The ingredients are simple to prep and with the exception of the veggies and Italian sausage, you probably have the other items in your pantry.
This Holiday Vegetable Hash from Trader Joe’s was the inspiration for this soup. I realize this is a seasonal item at TJ’s, but the ingredients are simple and you can certainly chop and season the veggies to make your own.
- Butternut Squash
- Sweet Potato
- Red Onion
- Celery
- and, parsley, sage, and rosemary
You’ll notice the veggies are a pretty small dice, but honesty, it just doesn’t get much easier!
I could have made this in my Instant Pot, but decided to cook this stovetop in my large heavy soup pot. See below the recipe card, for the quick IP version.
