Fall means soup season is finally here. Nothing warms me up like a good bowl.

So here’s my list of high protein soup ideas for fall. Every one hits at least 20 grams of protein.

I’m someone who lives for a cozy bowl on a chilly evening. My chicken fajita soup at #16 is a favorite, 40 grams of protein and all those flavors in one pot!

1. High Protein Chicken Taco Soup

2. Ham and Bean Soup

However, it usually takes time to build up to that. Either way, this is by far one of my favorite soups!
