In the midst of colder weather, cozy recipes have maximum appeal. We may default to casseroles, stews, and roasts, but soups are a tried-and-true cold weather selection.

The best part, from our dietitian perspective, is how easy it can be to fit a variety of veggies into a savory and satisfying bowl. Soups are an easy way to create a Plate Method meal in just one pot!
