What is more comforting than a steaming bowl of soup on a cold winter day?

Soups may be served in the summer or winter. In fact, all of the cream soups found in this section can be served cold. "Leek Soup" is a good example of this versatility.

Soups are ideal to use up leftover meat, noodles, rice, and cooked vegetables. They are easy to freeze and can be prepared in advance.

To reduce the "Sodium" and "Fat" content in soups, use home-made stock that you have defatted!
