A hot bowl of soup is the perfect comfort food during the cold winter months. In honor of Heart Month, we asked ACCESS PT staff to submit their best heart-healthy soup recipes, and we weren’t disappointed! Here are our three favorites:

Superfood Minestrone

Submitted by: Deborah Strobach, Patient Care Representative

This delicious, low-fat minestrone is packed with antioxidants and fiber, and can be easily customized by switching out the veggies for what you have on hand, or subbing in your favorite type of beans!

Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

Submitted by: Chelsea Colandrea, Sales Development Rep

This butternut squash soup from Heart Healthy Greek only uses a few simple ingredients, allowing the butternut squash and apple to shine! This is a great choice for those on restricted diets, because it is vegan, gluten free, and dairy free.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Submitted by: Jeanne Stanley, Marketing Coordinator

Evolving Table’s Chicken Tortilla Soup is healthy, delicious, and EASY. It’s truly a great option for busy weekdays, because your slow cooker does all the work! Be sure to use low-sodium versions of the ingredients to keep it heart-healthy, and have plenty of tasty toppings like tortilla chips, cilantro, and avocado on hand so the whole family can customize to their own taste.
