Winter Comfort Food – Spicy Soup Recipe

There’s nothing quite like a hot bowl of soup on a cold night. This Spicy Peanut and Ambrosia Apple soup will definitely warm you up. It’s based on a traditional African recipe but we’ve added a Canadian flare by incorporating Ambrosia apples. The result is nutty and sweet with a spicy kick from hot peppers. Plus, it’s easy to make as we demonstrate in this video recipe.

Did You See us on TV?

If you’re anything like us, you love cooking competition shows. There’s a new TV show to check out that features healthy, Canadian ingredients. Ambrosia apples were featured in the first episode of The Healthy Canadian Cook-Off which aired on JoyTV. We loved to see how the creative home-chefs incorporated Ambrosia apples into their dishes. Find more about this new show and discover what the chefs came up with in our blog post.

Feeling Grumpy? You’re not alone if this time of year makes you feel a little irritable or ho-hum. The lack of daylight and the cold weather can affect how we feel. The good news is that what we eat can help fight off those winter grumpies. The even better news is that eating Ambrosia apples can be a part of that solution. Here’s how. Socializing is another way to ward off those winter doldrums. Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
