 Bowl Me Over
Warm up with hearty, healthy soups.
by Sueson Vess
Nothing takes the chill off a frosty day like a steaming bowl of soup, offering comfort like few other foods. Homemade soup is a soothing way to lift the late-winter blues, a nutritious cure for what ails you.
Living with food allergies and sensitivities doesn’t mean forgoing your favorite cup of soup. Gluten-free, dairy-free stock is available at natural food stores and some supermarkets, or you can make your own rich stock using one of our broth recipes (below).
Soup is a versatile food, equally delicious as an appetizer, a side or a main course. For added flavor and nutrients, throw in seasonal vegetables or fruit. (Yes, fruit. The apples or cider in Roasted Beet Soup, Apple Fennel Soup, and Meatball Dumpling Soup add extra vitamin C and a hint of natural sweetness.) Sprinkle in whole grain rice or gluten-free noodles. Toss in flavorful leftovers for interest and a taste that’s truly unique.
Dreaming of a cozy evening by the fire? Soup is your winning meal ticket. Try these recipes for a satisfying and allergy-friendly supper that’s full of nutritious good taste.
