Luby’s Homestyle Chicken Soup
The key to looking and feeling your best this New Year may be as simple as a piping hot bowl of soup. And science agrees!

A newer entry on my site is Winter Minestrone [above] prepared with butternut squash and kale. It’s topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (if you’re so inclined) and served with warm bread. Veggie heavy and freezes well.
You’ll get a ‘kick’ out of this Spicy Sweet Potato Soup with garlic, minced jalapeños and strips of tangy turnip greens in a warm, spicy broth. It’s topped off with a squeeze of fresh lime and garnished with cilantro. Try using collards or spinach instead of the turnip greens depending on your preference.
