When temperatures drop and daylight hours shrink, many people experience the “winter blues”—a seasonal dip in mood marked by fatigue, low motivation, and irritability. While not as severe as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), these feelings can still affect well-being. Fortunately, research-backed strategies can help lift your spirits during the colder months.

This hearty soup is ready in about 30 minutes, uses one pot, and is packed with vegetables, fibre and plant-based protein. Perfect for cold days!

The best part, you can use up vegetables that are no longer fresh and change the seasoning to any spice profile you prefer. For a complete meal, you can add an additional protein of your choice.
