Celebrate the SOUPer Bowl with these staff-favorite recipes
The Big Game is traditionally thought of as a time to enjoy snacks and appetizers, or perhaps pizza and wings, with friends and family. But if you’re looking to shake it up this year, and maybe try something a little healthier, might we suggest a SOUPer Bowl Party?
It’s the perfect time of year for soup, which is easy to prep and cook ahead of time so everyone can enjoy the game. Plus, you can sneak in lots of vegetables, legumes and whole grains, key ingredients for a healthy diet to reduce your risk of cancer. Here are some favorite soup recipes from the Prevent Cancer Foundation staff.
Baked potato soup
No one will notice that cauliflower replaces some of the potato, making this a healthier version of a favorite soup.
Lemony chickpea soup
One way to reduce your risk of cancer is to eat a plant-based diet, and chickpeas are a great protein source when you’re limiting your meat intake.
Turkey chili
Chili is always a crowd favorite so it’s perfect for the Super Bowl. And it can be healthy, especially when packed with beans, vegetables and lean ground turkey.
Chicken noodle soup
Everyone loves chicken noodle soup, and this recipe cuts down on the work by using rotisserie chicken.
Matzo ball soup
The ultimate comfort food, matzo ball soup is surprisingly easy and provides a great balance of protein and carbohydrates.
