While it pains us to bid farewell to summer backyard bashes and cocktails, fall is already upon us. It’s time for our favorite fall festivities: football, wardrobe changes and autumn eats. And as the weather starts to cool down, we’re definitely starting to develop a hankering for those fall comfort food staples. We’ve got 14 fall soups that are guaranteed to earn a well-deserved spot on your list of “warm fuzzies, guaranteed” recipes.
1. Tofu and Pumpkin Laksa: Between the rich seasonal menus at our favorite coffee shops and bars (pumpkin beer, anyone?), sometimes you just have to prep something flavorful and healthy. Luckily, this laksa is light and delicious enough to help balance out our other fall indulgences. (via Stylejuicer)
