As fall settles in, warm, cozy recipes are calling your name. And what are the ultimate autumn comfort foods? Soups of course! Always a classic, soups are sure to hit your dinner table – but if your usual recipes are starting to feel too familiar, Wesson is here to help you out of that rut. With exciting cooking techniques, and even more exciting flavours, we’ve developed a new lineup of satisfying fall soups that are made to stand out.

Green Coconut Curry Soup

Packed with noodles, veggies, and umami flavors, this Green Coconut Curry Soup is both fresh and hearty. Jackfruit offers a unique texture while the coconut milk-based broth ties the dish together, adding an irresistibly creamy element. This hearty and flavorful meal is made to be a satisfying dinner and is perfectly packable for lunch the next day.

This recipe includes making your own curry paste – a bold but approachable step that starts with blending a handful of fresh ingredients. Wesson oil makes this process extra simple, keeping the paste smooth while adding depth to the flavor. While this delectable element is the backbone of the Green Coconut Curry Soup, any leftovers can also be saved in your fridge for other recipes.

Sopa de Lima

A traditional Mexican dish, Sopa de Lima has a rich history and even richer seasonal flavors. Wesson’s take on the lime soup has a base of charred vegetables and citrus that gives the dish it’s brightness, while shredded chicken and a hearty homemade broth provide depth and texture. A craveable crunch comes from crispy tortilla strips, making each spoonful an experience. Whether you need a warm pick-me-up after a long, chilly day, or are just craving a fresh dinner, this soup is the ultimate fish to brighten up your spirits.

A one-pot-wonder, making the chicken broth from scratch is less daunting than it seems – relying on the bird being left alone on the stove to simmer for 90 minutes so the flavors can marinate, creating the broth and cooking the chicken at the same time. Being 100% homemade, this recipe calls for even the crispy tortilla strips to be DIYed – a generous pour of Wesson oil and some time in the oven will give you that crunchy goodness.

Chipotle Clam Chowder

Spice up your dinner table with this smoky twist on the classically east-coast clam chowder. Wesson’s Southwestern edge on this recipe has chipotle peppers shining through for a unique flavor profile, while comforting seasonal veggies balance the tang. Beautifully smoky bacon and salty clams add a fun texture, keeping intrigue in every bite.

With this recipe, Wesson guides you through adding spice and different flavors to a typically mild dish – an especially precarious balance. Your perfect harmony may be different than others’, so adding a little bit of spice and tang at a time is the ideal strategy. This trial and error will help you practice – preparing you to add extra flavor and spice into other classically mellow dishes as you please!

Confit Tomato and Poblano Soup

This Confit Tomato and Poblano Soup has a velvety broth base filled with veggies and satisfying flavors. Tomatoes star in this dish, adding a bright color and flavor to the rich soup, keeping each spoonful fresh and exciting. Topping the dish are fresh zucchini ribbons with a revitalizing crunch, while poblano peppers add that spicy zing we all crave. With a satisfying finish from queso fresco, this soup is ready to be enjoyed by anyone you serve it to.

The power of this soup comes from the confit; simmering in Wesson oil builds the vegetables’ flavors as they cook, making sure each bite bursts with tang. While it intensifies taste, the confit technique is beautifully low maintenance; the magic comes from letting the stewing veggies be for 60-90 minutes. No intense supervision required!

Elevating traditional soup dishes brings back excitement and exploration in your cooking, and they’re fun to eat too! Impress your family with your skills as you serve up these irresistibly fresh fall soups.
