20+ Soup Recipes to Help You Beat Weight Gain

Winter is the unofficial soup season, I think we can all agree to that. It's bitterly cold, gets dark out by 5 p.m., and typically nothing sounds better than curling up on the couch with a bowl of something warm and comforting, like soup.

Whether it's packed with an unforgivable amount of sodium or cream or lacking in any real nutritional value, it may not always seem like the healthiest meal option, but boy does it taste good on those cold nights! Don't let the Winter months get the best of you and deter your health goals. Use these healthy soup recipes, which are not only filling, but equally nutritional as they are savory and delicious.
