Fall is a season of transition, a period where we naturally crave warmth and comfort. I shift from eating lighter, cooler foods in the summer- like fruits and salads- to warm and comforting foods like a steaming bowl of soup. 

Making soup at home is not only delicious, but also super healthy. We can consume a wide range of nutrients by adding things we might not regularly eat to our soup recipes. Plus it’s really easy and great to cook some in advance, and keep them in the freezer to pull out and heat on a cold day.
