SOUP

There is nothing quite like a warm cup of soup on an autumn day

a comforting, calming, nutrient filled meal

I am not speaking canned soup, but that is better than nothing

Vegetable soups are best because of their stimulating and health qualities. In general they help restore the necessary water balance, which in turn helps keep our blood pressure under control. just stay away form the can if you are watching your sodium intake!

If you keep thinking about chicken soup and its much-talked about benefits on cold and flu attacks, you would be happy to know that the old tales are true: chicken soup homemade or organic at best has anti-inflammatory effects and can help lessen the symptoms of a cold.

Adding a quick bowl of soup to your meals during the cold season can help you warm up, protect your organism and avoid unnecessary calories.
