Last year we were on Cape Cod and lunched on a Portuguese soup, thick with kale and sausage. This is our heart-healthy twist on that classic. Our version offers lentils, which provide great fiber and folate, low-calorie, nutrient-dense kale, and chicken sausage to enhance the savory flavor.

Some days just feel like soup days, so it’s good to have a recipe that you can make without much effort. This hearty (but not heavy) chowder can be on the table in less than 20 minutes. Our secret ingredient is the sweet potato, but other potatoes work just as well.

This soup is packed with omega-3 rich salmon, fiber-filled split peas and a lot of flavor. It’s easy to leave traditional ham split pea soup behind when a heart-healthy variation tastes this good!

In almost no time at all, you can make a hot, satisfying soup with the fresh, bright flavor of green peas. High in fiber and protein, fresh or frozen peas belong in the spotlight! Make a batch on the weekend and have easy weeknight meals on hand.

Cocoa and cinnamon add a depth of flavor to our chili recipe that’s impossible to deny.
