Cozy Season Chef Collette Haw
Welcome to cozy season! It’s the time of the year for bodywarming soups and stews, and with cold and flu season approaching, it’s also a good time to keep your immunity up. This soup is filled with Vitamin C-packed butternut squash and carrots, two superfoods perfectly designed to keep you healthy. These veggies are both high in Vitamin A, which also supports healthy immune systems, in addition to protecting your eyes from certain age-related declines, supports bone health and may lower your risk of certain cancers. All of those health benefits and this soup is delicious, too! I love cooking up a big batch of this soup on the weekend and then freezing leftovers for quick weeknight meals. And if you’re caring for a friend or loved one who’s feeling under the weather, a steaming bowl of this soup is guaranteed to make them feel better.
