Winter is only a few days away, and we are already feeling the sniffles, colds, and bugs that you’d rather not know the name of, along with fewer hours of precious sunlight to make the most of our days! To help stay happy, energised, healthy and calm, we all need to load up on those essential vitamins and nutrients found in beautiful, locally grown fresh produce. There’s nothing that soothes the soul more than a nice warm bowl of soup on a cold winter’s night. From classic tomato or pumpkin soup to a hearty vegetable and lentil soup, we all have our favourites!
Soup is such an easy way to increase your veggie intake and get the nutrients you need without giving it too much thought.  Another benefit of soup is that it helps you stay hydrated! You’ll be contributing to your daily water intake without even trying.
