Healthy Soup Recipes

Nothing chases away the chill like a cozy bowl of soup, especially one that’s made with plenty of good-for-you ingredients. Soup makes an easy, healthy lunch since it can be made ahead and stored in the freezer—and there are so many varieties to choose from that it’s nearly impossible to get bored of soup. Plus, many soups can be made from simple pantry staples like beans and pasta, so its a great, budget-friendly meal, too. Whether you’re craving chicken noodle, minestrone or creamy broccoli Cheddar, you’ll find all the recipes you need right here—starting with this recipe that celebrates the humble cabbage. We use a box grater to make quick work of the veggies in this soup. The fine pieces simmer and melt into the broth, adding body, not to mention plenty of vitamins and minerals. Add some chopped flat-leaf parsley if you want a pop of color.

Cozy up with a bowl of lentil soup. Altons version is packed with fiber, potassium, folate and other B-vitamins.

This soup has so much delicious flavor (thanks to bacon, garlic, leeks and fresh rosemary) that you’ll find it hard to believe you’re eating healthy!
