Chase away winter chills with a bowl of soup. It nourishes, comforts, hydrates and might even keep the sniffles away.

Soups are easy on the wallet, quick and fill people with fewer calories. They could even include last night’s leftovers to be transformed into a healthy, delicious meal for today. Heighten the flavor with homemade garnishes to make the dish something special to serve.
