Homemade soup is one of the easiest ways to eat more vegetables, stay warm and keep meals affordable through the long winter months.
Build a nourishing soup
- Start with vegetables such as carrots, onions and celery.
- Add protein like lentils, beans, chicken or fish.
- Include whole grains such as barley or brown rice.
- Season with herbs and spices instead of extra salt.
Make a big batch and freeze portions for quick, healthy meals.
Keep it light
Choose broth-based soups and low-salt stock, and add a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs for flavor.
Pair it well
Serve with wholegrain bread and a side salad for a balanced winter meal.
