The Secret to a Cozy Delaware Winter? It’s Simmering on Your Stove

While we love the crisp air of a Delaware winter beach walk, there is something undeniably special about coming home to a house that smells like slow-cooked herbs and savory broth.

For active adults, winter isn't just a time to slow down—it’s a time to nourish. Beyond just being a "comfort food," homemade soup is one of the easiest ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle during the colder months.

Why Soup is the Ultimate Winter Superfood:

• Hydration: It’s easy to forget to drink enough water when it’s cold outside; soup helps keep your hydration levels up naturally.
• Easy Meal Prep: Make a large pot on Sunday, and you have healthy, "grab-and-go" lunches for your busy week of OLLI classes or community volunteering.
• Nutrient Dense: It’s the perfect vehicle for those winter greens and root vegetables that keep your immune system sharp.

We recently sat down and pulled together three of our all-time favorite recipes that strike the perfect balance between "gourmet" and "simple." Whether you’re a fan of coastal spice or elegant French-inspired greens, these are a must-try.
