What's the weather like where you live? Here in the mountains of North Carolina, we haven't had much of a winter this year. We've only seen a tiny dusting of snow and the flowers and trees are already blooming. We're still enjoying soup season though!

Soup makes such a wonderful meal. You can make it ahead of time, it freezes and reheats well and it can feed a crowd. Plus these recipes are full of healthy veggies. These are some of our favorite recipes when we're looking to eat a little lighter and leaner, but not sacrifice any flavor. We hope you love them too!
