Nothing is quite as cozy and comforting as a warm bowl of soup!

But the power of soup extends well beyond its warmth. Here are 4 other reasons to eat more soup this fall:

1. Soup is Seasonal: Soup is the perfect way to make use of some of the season’s best fruits and vegetables! Winter squash, potatoes, and other root vegetables make a delicious base for creamy soups, or work well chopped up in a hearty stew.
2. Soup is Convenient: Make a big pot of soup over the weekend, store in meal-sized containers in the fridge or freezer, and reheat for a quick, healthy weeknight dinner!
3. Soup is Healthy: With its high liquid and vegetable content, soup makes a nutritious and filling appetizer or meal option. Load up on the good stuff!
4. Soup is Versatile: Many soup recipes are highly adaptable based on your tastes and preferences. Use sweet or savory spices; vary the type of squash; add some noodles or beans; and mix up your greens. Soup is also a great way to use up what you have in the fridge or pantry – and the variety keeps things interesting!
