Tired of turkey already? Perhaps it is time for a variety of soups!

With fall in full swing and winter slowly approaching, soups have become increasingly popular. Seasonal ingredients and experimental twists on classic recipes are bringing some underrated soups into the spotlight.

Check out these four must-try options of the season!

Albondigas

Albondigas, also known as meatballs in Spanish, is a hearty soup dating back to the sixth century. While today it’s seen as a Mexican dish, albondigas actually originated in Spain. It was later brought to Mexico by conquistadors.

The soup was continuously modified to include whichever ingredients were in season.The dish is now commonly made with a tomato broth, vegetables such as squashes, carrots and potatoes and meatballs made of ground beef and rice.

Lasagna Soup

While lasagna has been a staple dish in kitchens for decades, TikTok has taken the dish and reinvented it into a savory soup–providing a unique spin on the classic recipe.

Ground beef or sausage is typically browned with a variety of vegetables, such as onions and bell peppers. After this, spaghetti sauce, chicken broth and seasonings are used in order to create the soup base.

This deconstructed rendition elevates the recipe beyond the traditional oven baked dish–definitely an underrated dish for this upcoming season.

Loaded Potato Soup

Despite the growing popularity for this soup on social media, it is still an underrated dish.

The soup, usually curated with a potato base, serves as a creamy, hearty dish for any soup lover.

Additionally, this soup is highly customizable. Common ingredients include bacon, ground beef and a variety of vegetables–a dish truly deserving of more recognition.

Asparagus Soup 

Asparagus and soup may seem like an unusual combination, but the soup offers a creamy texture with a fresh, vibrant flavoring. It surely stands out from other traditional soups.

By incorporating the soup with other elements such as lemon and parmesan, the soup can be transformed into a creative and unique, comfort dish for the cooler seasons.
