We all have a definition of what we consider healthy food, but when it comes to healthy soup recipes, I think we’re all on the same page – you can’t beat a bowl full of vegetables.
To keep us warm and cozy during these upcoming winter months, I’m recapping this family’s go-to comfort soups, along with soup recipes from fellow healthy food bloggers. 
Kicking things off is this wholesome vegetable soup with white beans.
You can’t beat a vegetable soup when it comes to packing in nutrition. I’m a fan of adding kale, a known superfood, to my soups. (Mr. Mike wouldn’t agree. He picks it out of his bowl.)
With a vegetable soup I can have a garden rich soup on the table in under thirty minutes, with white beans in the mix to add protein and fiber. A sprinkle of nutty Parmesan on top adds a hint of cheesy appeal, and makes Mike happy.
Let’s see what else I have in my soup repertiore . . .
Miso Soup with Tofu and Bok Choy
Mushroom Soup with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Parmesan Cheese
Ham and Root Vegetables
Herby Chicken Soup with Kale and Quinoa
(There’s that Kale again that Mr. Mike picks out!)
Slow Cooker Spit Pea
Cream of Broccoli with Bacon Bits
Mexican Red Bean Soup
Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs
Cream of Celery Soup with Pepitas
As I promised, if you don’t find a soup in this collection that makes you want to whip out your soup pot, my fellow food bloggers might have a soup to inspire you!
