Autumn Vegetable Soup

Two bowls of autumn vegetable soup served in blue camp bowls.

Perfect for when the weather starts to cool, this hearty autumn vegetable soup is packed with fresh ingredients. It is a simple soup with a base of butternut squash, carrots, onions, and potatoes. It is earthy with hints of sweetness from the squash and carrots.

Ideal when camping, this soup can be cooked in a pot over a gas stove or in a Dutch oven over the campfire. After the vegetables are tender, it is quickly mashed to make them creamy. It is simple to make yet tastes amazing, as well as healthy.

If you choose a vegan stock the recipe is an ideal option for most special diets including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. You can also add a splash of cream, to make it even silkier. Or add a boost of protein by using chicken stock.
