Veggies That Make Healthy, Tasty Soups




 
 

1.Butternut Squash
You can peel it, cook it until soft, and puree it into a smooth, thick, satisfying fall soup. Many recipes use savory curry spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. You’ll get plenty of vitamins A, C, and B6 from the squash. Some people add sour cream or yogurt as a topping. Keep calories down with low-fat versions.

 




 
 

2.Lentils
A hearty soup made from these legumes will warm you up and keep you well-nourished in the cold of winter. They’re loaded with protein and are good for your heart, too. That’s partly due to the high fiber, but also to the manganese and folate. Some recipes add sausage for extra flavor and another shot of protein. Dried lentils take longer to cook, so pick them up in precooked cans if you’re in a hurry. They’re just as healthy.
