The first snowfall finally happened. It seems to always happen around this time of year.

Usually, the first snowfall melts, but it stays rather cold outside and leaves you with this feeling of wanting something warm and comforting.

I’m a big believer in eating plenty of greens every day. In the warmer months, it’s pretty easy to enjoy salads and fresh vegetables. But in the winter, suddenly the idea of having cold raw veggies isn’t as appealing.

Of course, I still enjoy some salads in the winter months, but just not as frequently as in the summer.

In the winter months, it’s all about giving your body some warming foods to keep you going even in the cold weather. And this is just the beginning where I live. I’m waiting for the first day where the temperature drops below -20 degrees! (Celsius)

Those are the types of days where you try and not leave the house and stay cozy with warming foods, Netflix, and blankets.

This green goddess broccoli soup is the perfect dish to make for one of those freezing days, or even just a mildly cold day.

It’s filled with good for you greens like broccoli and spinach to give you a healthy boost of vitamins and iron. The leek and potato in the soup give it an extra creamy texture without having to actually add any cream to the soup!

I love making a big batch of this soup to have for lunch with my favorite crusty bread, or as an appetizer for dinner.

I’m ready to take on this winter with an abundance of soups, curries, and stews this year to stay warm!
