12 Soups to Shake Up Your Soup Season


Soup season is here, and there's so much more to a good bowl than the usual tomato or chicken noodle.

I've rounded up 12 soups from Signature Concoctions, inspired by Indian flavors and ingredients, with everything from light, brothy bowls to creamy fall favorites and hearty, meal-worthy soups.

Whether you're looking for a quick lunch, an easy weeknight dinner or something cozy to make on a chilly evening, there's a bowl here for you.

Let’s find your next favorite bowl!


Butternut Squash & Kale Kadhi

This Maharashtrian-inspired buttermilk soup brings together butternut squash, kale, besan, ginger, chilies and a fragrant tempering. Tangy, warming and unlike your usual fall soup.

Vegetable Clear Soup

Light, fresh and ready in 15 minutes.
It is exactly what you want when you’re craving something warm and comforting without wanting a heavy meal.

Spicy Black-Eyed Peas & Kale Soup

Black-eyed peas and kale make this hearty enough for a meal, while Indian spices and a little heat keep it far from boring.

Curried Butternut Squash & Chickpeas Soup

Warm curry spices, creamy squash and hearty chickpeas make this one especially good when you want a cozy bowl that can double as dinner.

Spicy Tomato Soup

This isn't your classic creamy tomato soup. It's bright, spicy and deeply flavorful, with Indian spices doing the heavy lifting.

Chicken Noodle Soup (Talumein-style)

This Indian-Chinese style soup is warming, savory and packed with noodles, chicken and vegetables, with the kind of bold flavor that makes you want a second bowl.

Spicy Peanut & Coconut Pumpkin Soup

Creamy coconut milk, puréed pumpkin, peanuts and Indian spices come together in this rich, spicy-sweet bowl of fall comfort.

Curried Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

Sweet squash, tart apple and warm Indian spices come together in this silky soup that tastes like fall in a bowl.

Indian Lemon Coriander Clear Soup

Lemon, fresh cilantro/coriander and Indian spices make this clear soup incredibly refreshing while still being cozy enough for soup season.

Kulith Peeth (Cream of Horse Gram) Soup

Kulith Peeth is a Maharashtrian-inspired take on cream soup, made with nutrient-rich horse gram flour, with a simple tempering for extra depth.

Cumin Garlic Potato Leek Soup

Creamy potato and leek soup gets a flavorful Indian twist with a fragrant ghee tempering of cumin and garlic drizzled over the top.

Creamy Butternut Squash Dal

Creamy lentils, sweet butternut squash and warming Indian spices come together in a soup that’s hearty enough for dinner and completely at home on a fall table.
