Why Soups and Stews Are The BEST

  • Warmth and Comfort: There’s nothing more cozy and satisfying than a hot bowl of soup on a cold day.
  • Versatility: There are endless flavor possibilities when it comes to soups. You can cater them to tons of taste and dietary preferences.
  • Nutritional Benefits: It’s SO easy to pack soups and stews with healthy ingredients like vegetables, legumes and proteins, which is great when you’re working on getting some nutrient-rich food in your kids’ bodies!
  • Convenient Prep: They’re time-saving (one-pot and slow cooker for the win!) and freezer friendly, perfect for busy schedules and effortless homemade meals.
  • Leftovers For The Win: Making a double batch of soup is my favorite because the leftovers are just as delicious. They’re a practical and budget-friendly choice for meal planning.
