Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Melissa with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
Nothing warms up chilly fall days like a nourishing soup or stew. They’re a great way to pack in vegetables, fiber, and lean protein. Try these ideas:
- Load soups with carrots, beans, lentils, or leafy greens for extra nutrition
- Use unsalted or low-sodium broth for better heart health
- Batch-cook soups and freeze portions for quick meals on busy nights
- Pair with a side salad or whole grain bread for a balanced plate
Soups are comfort food with the bonus of nutrition, they’re a great opportunity to make healthy eating simple.
