16 Healthy Vegetarian Soups and Stews
Sometimes there's nothing better than a big bowl of soup. Make a big batch of one of these healthy soup recipes and freeze it for when you really need it.
Vegetarian soups and stews are a great way to use fresh produce and create low-calorie meals. Soups and stews freeze well, meaning you can make large batches ahead of time to simple reheat later. In this collection of healthy, vegetarian soups and stews, you will learn how to make the perfect cabbage soup diet recipe, tomato soup from scratch, and healthy vegetable soup recipes.
These easy soup recipes are also very inexpensive, not only because they do not use meat, but also because they stretch these ingredients with broth. Consuming broth-based soups with high-fiber ingredients like black beans help you stay hydrated and fill up with fewer calories. Save more money by purchasing dry lentils, beans, and other ingredients in bulk and cooking yourself a big batch of soup and saving the leftovers for the future.
