Sharing a delicious fall recipe for copycat Panera soup! This is dairy-free and SO delicious with a drizzle of olive oil and some roasted chickpeas on top.
Hi friends! How’s the morning going so far? I hope you’re enjoying the day! I have a packed day with coaching appointments (YAY!) and excited to take a yoga class this morning. I hope you have a lovely day ahead.
Something that made me chuckle a bit recently: the Pilot said, “Ohhhh, soup season is here”
I was like… soup season is ALWAYS here.
I get what he’s saying. Some people like to enjoy warm and cozy bowls of soup during certain times of the year, like when it’s chillier outside. I’ve never fully understood because you can find me with a piping bowl of soup on a scorching summer day. Soup fan for life, no matter the weather or season.
I feel like soup is the PERFECT meal. It’s an easy way to get in a ton of nutrients, protein, it’s super satisfying, and there’s nothing like some fresh sourdough or cornbread dipped into soup or chili. I have quite a few recipes on the blog but was excited to make a version of Panera’s Autumn Soup. It’s dairy-free, the ingredients are so inexpensive, and it packs a ton of nutrients and fall flavor.
Let me know if you give it a try!

1 onion
4 carrots

Step 2
Next, add the broth, onion, carrots, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the Instant Pot. Cook for 12 minutes on manual.
Step 3
Do a quick release, and then stir in the butternut squash (if you use a spoon to scoop it out from the skin, it should come out easily), sweet potatoes, and coconut milk. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.

Notes
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze half for an easy pre-made dinner component. I like to serve it with a big salad and fresh sourdough.
