In the deep chill of January, National Soup Month warms us up with piping-hot bowls of comfort! We all have our favorites; Mom’s chicken noodles don’t compare to anyone else’s, and Grandma’s borscht can’t be beat. A savory broth filled with vegetables and seasonings envelops the home with a delicious aroma. National Soup Month calls for family gatherings and enjoying a hearty meal together!
Soups not only warm us up on cold winter days, but they also fulfill our need for nutrients lost by working hard in the elements. If you’ve been out shoveling snow, chopping wood, or caring for animals, a soup full of vegetables, minerals, and oils replenishes the energy lost. Chicken noodle soup is known for its healing properties, as well. What better way to stay healthy than to eat a bountiful bowl of chicken tortilla or tomato soup?
And when we make a large kettle of soup, there’s plenty to share, making the soup a social meal. If there is soup left over, it stores and reheats easily.
