Fall is definitely my favorite season of the year! It makes me think of Fall festivals, candy corn, and family gatherings! It brings a smile to my face just thinking about it! ? Another great thing about Fall, is all of the yummy, cozy recipes! When I was younger, my mom would make a delicious soup on the first day of Fall and that’s something that I always looked forward to! As I’ve gotten older, I try to pass on some of those traditions along and enjoy them with my family!

Since it was about 95 degrees in Alabama on the first day of Fall, I really wasn’t in the mood for a warm soup lol! But now, the temperature has finally dropped so it’s time to put my favorite pot to work and whip up a batch of soup!

Lately, we’ve been incorporating more plant-based meals into our daily regimen, so I decided to make a Vegan Butternut Squash, Collard Green & Chickpea Soup! To help reduce my prep time, I purchased Nature’s Greens pre-cut triple washed collard greens from Walmart!

    Delicious soup. I added a huge squash so I added another cup of water. The spices were great. For non-vegan, some added Parmesan cheese and turkey meatballs would be a good addition. Just as is though was great. The mushrooms make the dish.

    this soup is super healthy. we added our own seasonings that are garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, pepper, and salt. we let the onions cook maybe a little bit too much! oops. but it was very yummy. very glad we made it! thank you for this soup, I have no regret, but with cornbread and aunt Jemima syrup, its EVEN BETTER!! thank you for this soup, again. I do recommend this soup to share with friends. just a heads-up, don’t give this soup to people who don’t like onions. if this is a gourmet dish at your rest’rant, tell your clients ahead of time, ” HEY! THEY HAVE ONIONS!!” or just have it say, butternut squash, collard greens, and chickpea soup ( with onions ).
