Soup always sounds like a healthy option, but in the colder months it can be a cream-laden caloric nightmare. Rather than substituting in artificial fat-free ingredients, this recipe focuses on fresh vegetables, like sweet potato, for flavor and a touch of Chobani greek yogurt for heartiness. Both parsley and green onions are high in vitamin C and vitamin K so they’ll also give you an immune boost during cold season. You can serve this soup hot or cold depending on whether you’re serving it with a heated entree or on its own.
