No matter the time of year, soup is one of our healthiest food options. The following recipes are warm, filling, delicious, nutrient dense and packed with veggies. One of my favorite things about soup is that it freezes well, making batch cooking a great idea! I set aside an occasional Saturday to make four or five batches of soup and freeze them for use all year long. Trust me when I tell you that spending a day making soup is so worth the months of reward! Pull the soup out of the freezer, make a salad and voila! A fast healthy meal in minutes!
And It All Begins with Broth:
Bone broth is nutrient dense and is the base for many of my soups. It contains vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed by the body including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur chondroitin, glucosamine, and a variety of trace minerals. Bone broth is rich in gelatin which supports healthy digestion. Make it after roasting a chicken to drink as is, or use to make soups or risotto! Of course you can use store bought broth in all these recipes…but I recommend the homemade of course.

You are so sweet Megan.
WOW these look SO good! I want it to get cold out just so I can make these (I live where it is warmer).
It is so chilly here today in MA and I’m definitely in the mood for some soup, these all look so good!
I am a soup lover and I am definitely rejoicing at all these delicious choices. The Creamy carrot and tomato soup looks heavenly!
Such a smart idea to batch cook all that up in one day and then have it at the ready for the rest of the season.
I can’t find the Pin to save these soups.
Cathy if you hover over the photo the pin it button appears in the upper left!
