Why are we so excited about soups? Because they’re a superfood!

Abundant in different vegetables and their broth, soups are rich in vitamins and nutrients that make them vital to maintaining a strong immune system. What’s more, some veggies (think carrots, potatoes, cabbage, and tomatoes, for example) have extra benefits when cooked in soups because our bodies can absorb their nutrients more efficiently.

In addition, soups help keep the body hydrated—a challenge that gets harder in the colder months because our bodies don’t feel as thirsty and we usually forget to drink enough water.

On top of all these incredible benefits, the warmth and aroma of a bowl of soup undeniably makes us feel more comfortable, calm, and relaxed, while also keeping us feeling more full for longer.

Last but not least, when cooked with fish and seafood, soups are a robust source of protein. That’s why we recommend you to add soups to your daily meals and try out the 4 salmon soup recipes below:
