Healthy soups are a great choice anytime, but there's something special about them during the cold season. There's just something lovely - like a hug in a bowl, and when they are healthy and easy to make, it's a bonus.
Soups are a good choice because most soups have plenty of fiber, are low in calories and are filling and it's easy to add in extra ingredients to ramp up the nutritional value. My list of soups come from all different sources but I also like to add a personal touch with my own spices for some extra zest and zing. Hope you enjoy these healthy soups!
