It’s cozy season! And nothing says Fall like a warm and comforting soup! This is the coziest fall soup I could come up with and it is soooo good y’all. I can’t wait for you to try this. It’s full of flavorful goodness from herbs, to Japanese sweet potatoes, lima beans, and more. This soup recipe is also vegan and gluten-free.
This recipe comes together in a matter of minutes and the smells filling your kitchen are divine! I’m using my Instant Pot to speed up the process, but you could also cook this on the stovetop. If making this on the stove put it on a low simmer for about 45 minutes until the beans are tender.
I love dried lima beans, they are so creamy and have a wonderful texture and flavor. They are also much more quick-cooking than other bean varieties! Do not substitute other dried beans since they take much longer. However, if you prefer a different white bean you could use canned and then cut down on the cooking time significantly.
I love this time of year when the weather has cooled off and there is still lots of fresh produce in the garden. I hope you’ll take advantage and enjoy these quieter, darker, calmer days until the end of the year. What are your favorite flavors of autumn?
