Whip up soup, stew or chili during the winter, and savor a bowl full of benefits. You’ll enjoy:

• A fast and easy meal solution for hectic weeknights, especially during busy holidays. These big-batch recipes require only 15 minutes of actual prep time. While they simmer, you can work on other tasks and chores.
• A kick-start for your New Year’s resolution to eat smarter because every one of these one-dish meals is filled with vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber and dozens of natural phytonutrients for optimal health and well-being.
• Plenty of good luck in the new year! According to folklore, the lentils and collard greens in Hearty Lentil Soup represent money (coins and green bills) and the promise of making more money. Some people hope eating all beans and legumes, not just black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day, will bring good luck in the coming year, so make a batch of Turkey Pumpkin Chili with kidney beans. And you’ll definitely want to savor a bowl of Fish, Potato and Corn Chowder because fish represent prosperity and progress, supposedly because they swim forward.
