(Family Features) A steaming bowl of homemade soup may well be
one of winter’s most innocent pleasures—hearty, warming,
satisfying—and good for you. Soup makes an appealing lunch or
a delicious light dinner, with a salad or a hunk of crusty
bread. It also has the admirable quality of filling your
stomach, without the extra fat and calories of a traditional
multi-course dinner.
By using simple techniques that maximize flavor, and
good-for-you ingredients, such as soy milk and fresh
vegetables, the Carrot Ginger Soup featured here satisfies
appetites and boosts health. Fresh leeks, carrots and sweet
potatoes are sautéed in Organic Valley Cultured Unsalted
Butter, then added to a broth with rice and minced ginger.
Puree the soup to a velvety texture, and then mix in a
spoonful of Organic Valley Original Soy Milk (or Heavy
Whipping Cream).
The addition of soy milk to the soup provides multiple health
benefits. Heart-healthy soy protein contains naturally
occurring isoflavones — plant hormones that may ease menopause
symptoms, reduce heart disease risk, protect against prostate
problems and improve bone health. Lactose- and
cholesterol-free, soy milk is also enriched with Vitamins A,
B2, B12 and D2 and offers a full 3 grams of fiber in every
cup.
Soy makes such a convincing case, you’ll be tempted to keep
your pot stocked with hearty, healthy soy soups all winter
long. Best of all, it’s one temptation you can feel good about
indulging.
