Winter is the perfect season for warm, hearty soups, and there is no better way to boost your immunity than with nutritious homemade soups. With your favorite Kohe knives, graters, and chopping tools, prepping vegetables and ingredients becomes quick, safe, and effortless, making your winter cooking both healthy and enjoyable.

Why Immune-Boosting Soups Are Essential
Cold weather can weaken the immune system, making it essential to include vitamin-rich and nutrient-dense soups in your diet. Soups packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals help strengthen immunity, keep you warm, and support overall wellness. With the right tools and fresh ingredients, making immune-boosting winter soups is easier than ever.

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Using a Kohe chef’s knife, chop vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, garlic, ginger, spinach, and onions. A Kohe grater is perfect for grating fresh ginger or cheese to enhance flavor and nutrition. Uniform chopping ensures even cooking and faster prep.

Step 2: Cook with Care
Start with a flavorful base by sautéing onions, garlic, and spices in olive oil. Add chopped vegetables and simmer to retain nutrients. Include immune-boosting ingredients like carrots, pumpkin, spinach, garlic, ginger, and turmeric.
