Simple, Satisfying
and
Smart ~ Soups
Soups are winter favorites for people of all ages. Easy to make and satisying to enjoy, especially on
a "chili" day! Great source of vitamins and minerals, and a great opportunity when making your own pot of soup to
use up left over vegetables from the weeks earlier meals. With our busy schedules over the next few weeks.. think about creating
a few pots of soup that can be easily heated and served for quick meals. Easy to make ahead and freeze for later in the week.
Stay healthy... feeling strong will certainly make the season merrier.
