Sign InBlasting the vegetables under the broiler gives this soup a smoky essence, and the tons of vitamin C makes this an immune-boosting soup recipe that will help keep winter sniffles at bay. And don’t skip the tuna at the end: High-quality canned tuna is a great way to get in sustainable protein that delivers healthy omega-3s, which can boost heart health, and B vitamins, which can help with energy (something we all need more of in the colder months!).
