Rutabaga Orange Soup
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Rutabaga and leeks are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, while the orange juice adds a boost of vitamin C. The mixed nuts provide healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals, and the soup is naturally low in calories.
To make this soup even healthier, you can reduce the amount of maple syrup or omit it entirely, relying on the natural sweetness of the vegetables and orange juice. Swap the sour cream for a lighter option like Greek yogurt to boost protein while lowering fat content. For added fiber, consider adding more vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes to the soup base. You could also use unsweetened vegetable broth to lower sodium levels.
