Hot Foods for Cold Winter Days - Soups and Stews

January is National Soup Month and what better way to warm those frosty toes and fingers than to warm the inside with a cup or bowl of hot soup!  One of the first fast foods, soups offer a wide range of nutritional benefits, and are good to eat, too. Loaded with beans and vegetables, they are great sources of fiber and phytochemicals. Adding California Raisins just increases the nutrition, so celebrate soup’s wide range of flavors and health benefits and ring in the New Year with simple to make, easy to store, absolutely delicious, and good for you, too, soups.

Sweet Plantain and California Raisin Soup with Saffron is exquisitely seasoned with exotic spices and flavors, is low in calories, cholesterol, fat and sodium. For a spicy, hot and quick warm up, serve Warm Apple Cider Soup with Crispy Apple-Raisin Turnovers for another low calorie, low cholesterol and low sodium treat.
