Spinach-Artichoke-Soup

Spinach-Artichoke Soup

Healthy Fact of the Day

This soup combines nutrient-rich vegetables with creamy indulgence. Spinach provides iron, vitamins A and K, and antioxidants. Artichokes are high in fiber and antioxidants, supporting digestive and liver health. To make healthier, replace heavy cream with milk or coconut milk. Use light cream cheese and reduce cheese content. Consider skipping croutons or using whole grain versions. For a lighter version, use pureed white beans to add creaminess instead of dairy. The combination of vegetables provides diverse nutrients while being relatively low in calories before cream is added.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
