Here are some reasons why soups are nutritious and delicious, perfect for winter:
Quality ingredients: It’s easy to pack good-for-you whole foods into a bowl of soup, from any vegetable on the rainbow-colored spectrum to fiber-rich beans and grains. Even a simple chicken soup typically starts with a healthy base of onions, celery, and carrots. Naturally hydrating: Most soups have a base of broth (or even just water), making each bowl naturally hydrating. That’s a good thing, particularly for folks who find it hard to drink enough water during the day. On the lighter side: Rich cream-based soups aside, most soups are relatively low in calories. You can fill up on a big, nutrient-rich bowl without a huge calorie splurge.
To get you inspired by all the possibilities, I’ve curated nutritious and delicious soup recipes that are bound to fill your belly, soothe your soul, and make you feel good.
