Lately, I’ve been obsessed with soup. It’s easy to make, it keeps in the fridge or the freezer forever, it is filling and it can be really healthy. I’m not a big salad person, I try, but I would much prefer my salads in a soup form.
Soup makes a great healthy meal. It is EASY to make healthy vegan soups and they keep in the refrigerator for a few days, or you can even freeze them in smaller portions so you can use them later.
Soup is also a great way to get some more greens in! I love adding a bunch of chopped up kale or collards to any soup. You can always make them with out any added oils, so they can be super healthy!
And, researches have shown that people who eat soup first cut their calories by a lot at each meal. Imagine what would happen if your meal was ONLY soup!
So this week, include lots of soup! And enjoy these fantastic soup recipes!
