Soups:
Soups are a classic meal that have been made for centuries to warm up bellies.

We recommend tomato soup because it contains antioxidants that can help reduce stress and inflammation. They also have a proven knock-on effect that helps reduce the possibility of developing certain cancers. As well as being rich in vitamins A and C, what’s not to love about this delicious soup? Leak and potato, Chicken and vegetables are also great options.
