September is the Start of Soup Season!

Mmmmm---soup…warm and comforting, delicious, nutritious and super filling. And I’m not talking about the canned kind which is basically salt water chock full of bad fat and mushy veggies. Nope—I am referring to homemade soups—an inexpensive and incredibly tasty way to add in healthy legumes, vegetables, grains and extra virgin olive oil to your day. What’s more, soup has been proven to help with weight control by curbing your appetite and helping you to slow down at the main meal. So this fall and winter, ladle up a hot and savory bowl of soup, serve with a crusty loaf of whole grain bread and enjoy one of the many culinary pleasures of the fall and winter seasons!
