    Get back on track with healthy eating while staying cozy and warm with these 10 vegetable-filled, healthy winter soups.

    10 Healthy Winter Soups

    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).

    Swapping in a big bowl of soup in place of your usual lunch or dinner 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, paleo and vegan to get you through the season and warm you on the even the coldest winter night and beyond.

    Whether you’re in the mood for a stew or broth, something velvety or chunky there’s a soup here for you.

    1. Quick Spicy Tomato Vegetable Soup

    2. Roasted Red Pepper Carrot Soup

    This roasted red pepper and carrot soup is easy to make and has a creamy texture that’s warming and filling without being heavy.

    3. Ginger, Turmeric Spiced Carrot Soup

    4. Winter Squash Soup

    Simple yet nourishing, this is the kind of soup that’s satisfying without being heavy, and silky without the addition of dairy or cream.

    5. Golden Winter Root Vegetable Soup

    7. Thai Green Curry Soup with Spinach

    9. Restorative Detox Vegetable Broth

    10. Spinach and Eggplant Noodle Miso Soup

    This spinach and eggplant noodle soup is built on a kombu broth, enhanced with fresh shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic for maximum flavor.  Julienned eggplant stands in for long, soft, slurpy noodles in the broth.

    Stay Warm!
