Cold winter air brings a new kind of beauty to the landscape, as well as fun fashion and a shift in the way we eat. Light summer meals tend to give way to heavier dishes that hit the spot in chilly weather, but this slow slide into what some affectionately call “eating season,” with large meals and numerous parties around the coming holidays, can be easily remedied with one versatile, fall/winter appropriate dish: soup.
Almost anything can be whipped up into a soup or stew, but the recipes below focus on skin-healthy ingredients to help keep your skin glowing well into the new year.
A few of our favorites include:
Carrot / Ginger Soup
According to the New York Facial Plastic Surgery Center, the beta-carotene that carrots are loaded with is converted by the body to vitamin A, an essential nutrient for healthy skin. On top of that, the ginger and turmeric included in this recipe are packed with antioxidants to give your skin an extra boost.
Cabbage Soup
This soup isn’t just skin friendly, it also makes use of a seasonal vegetable! Cabbage is readily available in the spring and fall, and is also rich in antioxidants, as well as Vitamins C and K.
Tomato Basil
Tomatoes contain both beta-carotene and lycopene, which help protect the skin against UV damage. Basil is packed with skin-friendly antioxidants that help to reduce the appearance of aging.
Use the recipes below, all fall and winter long, to stay warm and keep your skin glowing!
