Healthy Soups That Use Superfoods

Soups are a great and filling meal to add to your lunches. They are easy to make in 
larger batches, freeze, and use later. If you make them fresh, you can choose to add 
ingredients that are superfoods as well. If you are looking for some healthy soups that 
use superfoods, then consider these four soups. Each can be made ahead, easily 
frozen, and added to a lunch or dinner meal plan.

Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Broccoli is known as a superfood that can benefit most anyone who ingests it. It offers 
vitamins, minerals, and gives you the green vegetable basis you need for a healthy diet 
plan. It is also one of the vegetables that can offer you Omega 3 fatty acids as well. You 
can boost this soup by adding carrots as well as ginger for some added spice. Both of 
which are also superfoods and help with digestion. You can freeze this soup as well and 
making it on your own is very easy if you have the base recipe. 

Bone Broth Chicken Soup

Bone broth is rich in different components that help with strength, immune boosts, and 
with giving you vitamins and minerals that can help with the fatigue from changing diets 
and exercise routines. You can make bone broth soup easily on the stove, in a pressure 
cooker, or in a crock pot. You can then freeze the bone broth to use later. Use the bone 
broth base and add vegetables and chicken. You can choose to add superfood based 
vegetables to the mix such as carrots, broccoli and fennel. If you are on a low-carb diet 
plan, leave out the noodles and let the broth and ingredients stand on their own without 
the fillers. 

Ginger Butternut and Carrot

Ginger can help with a variety of issues and is a superfood because of those benefits. 
Ginger can help with stomach issues, nausea, and with muscle aches and pains. 
Butternut squash is loaded with vitamin A and also contains folate, and magnesium. 
Carrot can bring potassium and vitamin K to the party. Mixing all of these together in a 
puree soup is an ideal option for expectant mothers and can also help with muscle 
soreness. To make this soup all you have to do is steam the vegetables and puree the 
vegetables together. You can add a small amount of heavy cream for added 
creaminess if needed. 

Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin is an easy to find vegetable in either fresh organic form or in organic canned 
form. You can use this mixed with cinnamon and some cream as a superfood based 
soup. The pumpkin can help you sleep better, lower blood pressure, give you a 
healthier package, and give you a substantial amount of fiber.  Adding cinnamon can 
add to the flavor and help with blood sugar regulation and metabolism. 

You can trade up the soups to fit different diets. For example, if you are on a paleo diet, 
you may want to use a bone broth as the base rather than a cream based soup like 
broccoli and cheese. You can also add multiple superfoods to build your soup and give 
you even more nutrients than normal.
