Nothing says cozy like a bubbling pot of Witches Soup on a crisp fall evening. This hearty, spiced stew is brimming with rustic charm and seasonal veggies. It’s like autumn in a bowl—earthy, warming, and just a bit magical. With tender pearl onions, sweet carrots, and perfectly browned sausage crumbles, it’s the kind of comfort food that makes you want to gather around the table with friends and swap ghost stories.

Perfect for Halloween dinners, harvest parties, or just a chilly night at home, this whimsical soup is as fun as it is flavorful. The blend of savory broth, bite-sized potatoes, and rich, meaty depth will have everyone coming back for seconds. It’s a cauldron full of bold taste and seasonal goodness that feels like it simmered straight out of a storybook.

What Kind of Broth Should I Use?

For the richest, most flavorful Witches Soup, opt for a robust beef broth or bone broth base. It complements the meatiness of the sausage and balances the sweetness from the root vegetables. A low-sodium broth gives you more control over seasoning, while a homemade broth adds depth if you have the time.

Ingredients for the Witches Soup

Pearl Onions – These tiny golden globes bring just the right bite of sweetness and look adorably spooky floating in the bowl.

Carrots – Earthy and naturally sweet, they add warmth, color, and that perfect tender texture after simmering.

Yukon Gold Potatoes – Creamy, rich, and hearty enough to hold their shape in the stew.

Ground Sausage – Brings savory spice and satisfying richness to the mix.

Garlic and Onion – The aromatic foundation of any great soup, adding bold flavor.

Tomato Paste – Deepens the broth with umami and gives a beautiful reddish tint.

Celery – Adds a nice crunch and flavor contrast to the softness of the potatoes.

Beef Broth – The base of the potion; rich, hearty, and full of depth.

Olive Oil, Thyme, Salt & Pepper – To finish off with herby goodness and just the right seasoning.

How To Make the Witches Soup

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

Heat a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Drizzle in olive oil and add the ground sausage. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until fully browned and crisp. Remove sausage and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed. Toss in diced onions, minced garlic, and celery. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add Tomato Paste and Spices

Stir in tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes to deepen the flavor. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Build the Broth

Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add in carrots, pearl onions, and potatoes. Let everything cook until the veggies are fork-tender, around 20-25 minutes.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Return the sausage to the pot. Stir well, adjust seasoning, and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with cracked black pepper or a sprig of thyme.
