Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday! It is never too early to start thinking about Holiday meal planning is it? This week, with a little help from friends, I bring you my roundup From Soups to Sides: Your Guide to Healthy Holiday Vegetarian Meals.
Tis the season and today I am sharing my Roasted Butternut Squash soup. Roasting the squash, carrots and granny smith apples first really brings out their flavor and creates a delicious soup. It’s vegan, gluten free & sugar free but has plenty of creaminess and a wonderful rich flavor. Find the full recipe right here.
After the soup course it’s time for this beautifully crafted Portobella Mushroom Salad from my friend Nikki over at View from in here check out her full recipe here. Gluten free, Vegetarian and Sugar Free. A healthy Holiday option that doesn’t lack in flavor. Roasted vegetables, gooey fresh Mozzarella, sweet ripe tomatoes, topped with a perfectly cooked Portobella Mushroom with the flavor of grilled steak. Could it get any better?
The holidays wouldn’t be the same without sweet potatoes and this Fresh and Fruity Sweet Potato hash from Kaila @ Healthy Helper Blog is sure to please. Find the full recipe here. Spice up your sweet potatoes with this sweet & salty combo that’s gluten free, vegan and paleo friendly.
Next up we’ve got Celeste’s all important Vegan Dressing with Barley. This healthy, vegetarian option is so loaded with flavor it’s sure to please all your guests. You can find the whole mouth watering recipe here.
I am such a cheese lover and this Pesto Cheese Blossom from Stefani just calls my name! A grain free appetizer brimming with pesto, sun dried tomatoes and cream cheese-enveloped in Provolone-yes please! Find the full recipe right here.
Hope you enjoyed this roundup from Soup to sides: your guide to healthy vegetarian holiday meals.
So now that I’ve whet your appetite, have you started planning your holiday meals yet? Tell me, what’s on your menu?

Love all these recipes!!! I can’t wait to try your soup!!
thanks I am loving soups right now!
Deborah, all of these recipes sound so delish. I am a soup nut, and I love Butternut Squash soup, but have never made it myself. The addition of Granny Smith apples sounds so good, and I love cooking soup in the slow cooker, the house smells good all day long! I am adding this to our soup rotation, we love soup all fall and winter! And I’m going to whip up a batch for the holidays. It’s perfect!
I am a soup nut as well! The apples do smell delicious-I hope you enjoy it
I love Panera’s butternut squash soup but I am sure your version is much healthier. I am a huge cheese fan too so that pesto cheese blossom sounds delicious!
Mine is for sure healthier 🙂 hope you give it a try. Yes to cheese!!
Wow, are you sure it’s not too early for holiday meal planning? Check back with me the weekend before Thanksgiving ….
I pegged you for the super organized type!
My mouth is watering for all of the delicious goodies. Love your Butternut Squash Soup and I love the addition of the apples, I’m sure it will be a hit on my holiday table. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yes indeed!
Loving all the soups right now and could eat it daily! I can’t say I’ve ever seen soups at our holiday get togethers but was thinking about it for the ones we host but thought people would comment for the “real food”. Sides and apps are always a win! Happy Meatless Monday!
I like a soup at holidays because it’s a great veggie option and really filling. Can’t wait to see what’s on your holiday menu
All of those recipes sound amazing!
Thanks so much Michelle! Have a great week
That soup sounds ah-mazing! I love any variation on butternut squash soup! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks so much-it’s creamy without the dairy
That Pesto Cheese Blossom! I would kill for! It looks so good!
Butternut Squash is my all-time favorite fall soup (I’m addicted to Panera’s). Thanks for posting your recipe. I’m going to try it!
I hope you like it! Let me know if you give it a go
I can’t believe it’s time to think about the holidays already! I will definitely keep an eye on these as I start putting my Thanksgiving list together!
It’s never too early right!? I like to eat these things all all long
I love your recipes! Its been a while since I dropped by. Hope you are doing well!
WEll it’s nice to see you again! Have a great week
Pinning these for later! I have a party coming up I’ll need a fall treat for… yay
wonderful hope you enjoy them!
Oh wow, all of these look just wonderful! What great ideas to serve for the holidays, too. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much Michelle!
I haven’t even thought about my holiday menu yet, but I’ll take all of these recipes! Everything looks so good!
Thanks! Never too early to start thinking about it
These recipes all sound wonderful! Holidays are right around the corner…Pinned 🙂
I know they kind of sneak up on me every year!
Nope, no planning here, we don’t even have all the Halloween candy bought yet! You are on top of it! I love the squash soups as soon as fall starts, it just screams comfort 🙂
Well I have not bought any candy either because I will just eat it myself 🙂
lots of great options! Great round-up 😉
Thanks so much
That pesto cheese blossom looks ridiculously good!
We are working on planning our Halloween dinner menu, right now. Then I’ll move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can’t believe they are all right around the corner.
I know they kind of sneak up on you don’t they?!
Unlike last year, I don’t have to worry about planning any holiday meals this year. Now the menu for my little guy’s first birthday party is another story….what to serve….
Cake all around!!
Loving all these ideas! My family is great about making sure my husband and I have plenty of vegetarian options to eat, which is nice! 🙂
That is really nice and unusual! I do love Thanksgiving and we host it mostly so I will have some choices myself
All of these recipes look amazing! We eat 2-3 vegetarian meals each week so I’ll have to try some of these out!
OH great hope you all enjoy them
Now you have me thinking about holiday menus. One of the things I love about the holiday season.
I do love to plan them out!
definitely haven’t started thinking ahead to the holidays yet! not going to lie, we go out a lot during them instead of cook. but all of these sound delicious!
That’s ok too! Whatever works for you and is stress free
That roasted butternut squash soup is calling my name!
I just made it again this week-I forgot how much I loved it
Recipe roundups are great. I love that I see a ton of recipes to choose from all at once. That cheese ball looks amazing! Thanks!
It sure does I am going to try it myself
Oh my mouth is saying, can it please be time for a holiday meal right now??
That cheese!!!!!
LOL I know that one does kind of call my name as well
Sweet Potato Hash of some sort is DEFINITELY happening this holiday season… Wait, why not just have it tonight too! 😉
I like it with eggs for breakfast too
This is an awesome roundup, all the recipe look great!! Getting hungry just reading through them 😀
Oh good that was kind of the idea
Yum, oh the dressing one is a must try for me!
I made the salad you posted I think it was about 2 weeks ago, (well all but a couple of ingredients I couldn’t find) it was delicious, and it lasted a good 4 days in the fridge without the dressing on it and was yummy each time, thanks!!!
Oh great to hear so glad that you liked it!
The Roasted Butternut Squash soup sounds so good for a cool day like today!
Thanks hope you enjoy. We had cool weather and now back to summer this week
omg this all looks amazing, especially the sweet potato hash! I went out to lunch the other day and ate a cheeseburger which made my stomach NOT happy for the entire day, and it made me think that I really should eat more meatless…perhaps I need to really try it after the marathon.
OH yes! Let me know if you need any ideas for fun veggie meals
i love the holidays! sides are my favorite parts of meals (normally) and i love having lots of healthy options 🙂
Sides are my favorite too!
So much deliciousness! :] I love butternut squash, and that sweet potato hash looks delicious too!
Thanks so much!
