    Healthy Soup Recipes

    Gluten-FreeGrain-FreeVegetarianVeganDairy-FreeEgg-Free

    If you’re looking to lighten up your meals or just add more vegetables to your diet, a bowl of soup is always a solid option.  These healthy soup recipes are packed with vegetables and are sure to keep you feeling toasty warm from the inside out on a cold day.

    healthy soup recipes

    As the holidays come to a close and winter begins, I find myself turning to soup. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a piping hot bowl of soup on a cold winter day to warm and comfort you from the inside out, and after weeks of feasting we can all use a bit of a nutritional reset don’t you think?

    Besides being cozy and comforting, soup has some pretty terrific things going for it: it’s simple to make, can be stashed away in the freezer for later, is filled to the brim with both vegetables and water, (keeping us full and hydrated), and is easy to re-heat (in fact most soups taste even better the next day). 

    A bowl of soup makes a great starter for dinner or a satisfying lunch all by itself and is a simple and sane way to get back on track with healthy eating after the holidays (smoothies and salads are great but soup is so much nicer when it’s cold out).  So I’ve put together a selection of healthy soups that are all gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan to get you through the season and warm you on even the coldest winter day and beyond.

    Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup

    French Vegetable Soup
