Calling all Soup-O-Holics!

Who doesn’t love a bowl of warm, creamy goodness?

I am going to provide you with some of my favorite creamy soup recipes.

Sure, soup was great before surgery. Post-surgery, soup is even more amazing. You can pack quite a punch of nutrition in a cup of homemade soup!

What about canned or packages soups? No No No

Please stay away from the cans and packages especially when it comes to soup. They are filled with sodium, artificial colors, flavors, emulsifiers, stabilizers, sugar, artificial sweeteners …. do I even need to continue?

Let’s make our soups at home and be sure of what is in our bowls. We have total control this way. Soup is one of the easiest things to make. Soup also freezes well. You can make a big batch and have it on hand in individual containers in the freezer.

One of my favorite tricks is to add a big spoonful of greek yogurt to my soup before serving it. This increases the protein content and provides a creamy texture. I also love topping my soups with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or sunflower seeds. This adds a dose of protein and healthy fat.

Do you ever feel like you are not getting enough vegetables or fiber in your diet? Enter soup. You can prepare a soup to increase your diet in whatever you feel is lacking. Not enough green veggies? What about cream of broccoli soup? Lacking in the protein department? What about cream of chicken soup, or a black bean soup? Would you like to get some more healthy fats in your diet? Why not top your soup with some small chunks of diced avocado?

I love creamy soup.
