Soup Is Comforting and Filling. Make the Best Ones With These Recipes
Winter may be behind us, but there’s still nothing more cozy than a hot bowl of soup on a chilly evening. Maybe you’re thinking you can’t indulge in this hearty meal because of all the calories (not to mention the high volume of sodium in canned soups).
Good news soup lovers!
These healthy soup recipes are made with nutritious ingredients. You’ll feel nice and full after eating a bowl. Plus, the recipes are easy. Just toss the ingredients in a slow cooker and forget about it until it’s dinnertime!
1. Chicken Tortilla Soup
Do you like tacos, enchiladas, and nachos? Get the same taste by making this chicken tortilla soup. Shredded chicken gives you protein and chopped celery, tomatoes, and onions are full of antioxidants. Add cayenne pepper if you like things a little spicy and sprinkle tortilla strips on top.
2. Cream of Chicken Soup
You’re probably thinking you can’t indulge in a creamy soup. Wrong! The broth is made using chicken broth, water, and 0% milk. It is then seasoned with peeled zucchini, chopped onion, garlic and onion powder, and black pepper. Toss in chicken, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, and frozen peas.
3. Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup is a staple of Italian cuisine. Embrace a taste of the Mediterranean with this veggie-filled recipe. As is to be expected with an Italian dish, this soup is made using extra virgin olive oil. It also contains diced onions, carrots, and celery as well as green and kidney beans.
4. White Bean and Kale Soup
White beans don’t always get the credit they deserve. These protein-packed, calcium-rich beans pair perfectly with kale, a fellow superfood. Give the soup flavor with onion, garlic, chili flakes, parsley, black, pepper, and a couple tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
5. Broccoli Cheddar Soup
You don’t have to go to Panera Bread to get delicious broccoli cheddar soup! Make it at home using vegetable broth, plain Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Potatoes and onions complement the broccoli and cheddar. Be sure to have your blender ready to get that rich, creamy consistency!
Signs Your Olive Oil Is Spoiled
If you’re cooking with olive oil, you might be missing out on the nutritional benefits and only getting the unhealthy fats. Most Americans have no idea where their olive oil is from or about the quality of it. As a result, a lot of olive oil sold in stores is already spoiled!

Classics never go out of style! Turn this sick day staple into a healthy dinner by using spiralized zucchini or bell peppers instead of noodles. Dice onion, carrots, and celery for even more veggies, and season the broth with oregano and thyme.
7. Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash is a seasonal favorite in the fall, but you can enjoy it year round! This soup tastes like sweet potatoes with a hint of a savory flavor from the onions and garlic. Top with fresh sage and rosemary.
8. Stuffed Pepper Soup
Stuffed peppers are extremely filling and totally free from unnecessary carbs. Turn it into a soup by putting ground turkey, bell peppers, and onion or brown rice into low-sodium beef broth. Season with black pepper and fresh parsley.

Cauliflower is a nutritious veggie that helps with better digestion and improved heart health. It’s also the perfect ingredient to add to soup! Pair the florets with bacon, onion, bell peppers, and white cheddar cheese.

One look at this soup, and it’s easy to think you’re just eating a bowl of guacamole. Surprisingly, avocado makes for one tasty soup! Mix it together with fresh lime, cilantro, chicken, and jalapeno peppers if you like things spicy!
