Spices to warm you up

Ginger and cinnamon are wonderfully warming spices, which not only taste good but will help get your circulation pumping. They're also powerful anti-inflammatories.

Of course, soups are wonderful for batch-cooking and freezing portions for later in the week or month.

This soup keeps well for up to 3 months in the freezer. Allow it to defrost over night before re-heating.
