Earlier this month, Sue Nichols, MS, RD, CDE, CDN, from the Orange County Office for the Aging led the seniors at the Greenwood Lake Senior Center in a hands-on soup activity. Participants assembled and layered the dry ingredients of a healthy organic minestrone soup recipe into mason jars to bring home to prepare as a meal. Nichols also discussed how to make healthy soup substitutions and explained the importance of vitamin D to overall health.
