Soup seems the perfect warming winter meal and a great choice if you’re trying to eat a little healthier – especially if you make it yourself. A big bowl of freshly made soup will not only make a satisfying lunch, it will also help keep you fuller for longer. It can also be a healthy way to start off a meal because it tends to be high in vegetables.

Nutritionist urges us to eat minimum five portions of fruit and vegetables a day but sometimes it can be difficult. A bowl of soup is one good way to make sure you are getting at least two of those portions. Adding soup to your diet can help you increase your vegetables intake, especially if you choose a vegetarian soup. “People need easy meal ideas, but they want to eat healthy and delicious food as well. By adding just a couple of fresh or pantry ingredients, you get a simply satisfying meal in about an hour,” explains Trisha Anderson, President of Frontier Soups“Our packaging allows customers to see the beauty of the all natural ingredients—they recognize the quality of the product.” If you’ve never made soup before, try healthy soup mix; you’ll be surprised by how easy it is.
