Soup is a quick and sure-fire way to get the circulation going and warm up on the go without having to think too hard about dinner. They can be made ahead, in a pinch, with very few or a whole host of ingredients. I love a traditional soup (nanna’s sweet pumpkin soup is always a welcome sight come wintertime) as much as I enjoy getting super creative to add a bit of variety into the weekly mealtime routine.
