Soup! Either served hot or cold, soup is a liquid bowl of comfort food that puts a smile on your face, a smile on your lips, and can help melt away a stressful day. Not only is soup good for the soul, it’s good for our bodies too. Soups are generally low in calories, hydrating, and packed full of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Back-to-school means back to cold and flu season, and nothing feels better when we’re congested than leaning over a steamy bowl of comforting soup. Plus, there are so many different varieties of soups, it’s hard to get bored! Soups can come in chowders, bisques, consommés, broths, gumbo, pho, gazpachos, and more.
