Because soups should not only warm you up, they should fill you up.
The only thing better than tucking into a hearty bowl of delicious soup is a big batch of soup you make ahead and freeze or eat throughout the week. We've rounded up some awesomely delicious soup recipes below. Not only should they fill you up, but each of them is also under 400 calories per serving and each recipe will make at least five servings.
So have at it! We hope they keep you cozy and comforted.
