Chicken soup gets credit for having healing powers. But actually, a hot bowl of any hearty soup can remedy what ails many of us: lack of time and lots of stress. After all, even when she's on the go, a woman's got to eat. So have a friend over after shopping and put the soup on.
Soups make great one-dish dinners, plus you can make a large batch and freeze somefor the next time you don't feel like cooking. The best thing about them is that they can get you back to eating simple and healthy if you've overdone it a bit during the holidays. Remember to use the Calcium Calculator to check if your diet is giving you the calcium necessary for healthy bones. We serve up two recipes: one for turkey stew (a slightly different spin on chicken soup) and one for Italian white bean soup. This winter, warm up with these healthy takes on traditional soups.
