We recently went on a cruise, and ate (and drank) the whole time we were gone. I had an amazing time, but I came home feeling so bloated and really just gross. I am a meat eater through and through, but sometimes it is nice to give your body a little break and have a meatless day here and there. This Healthy Loaded Vegetable Soup is great for that. It is absolutely delicious, loaded with super nutritious ingredients and it only comes in at 163 calories a serving. If you aren’t watching what you eat, it would be great with a melty grilled cheese on the side!
Here are some tips for making my Healthy Loaded Vegetable Soup:
- Fresh, frozen or canned, whatever kind of vegetables you have on hand will be fine in this soup. Obviously, fresh is usually best, but the great thing about soups is that they are so versatile, so use what you have!
- Don’t skimp on the salt! I know, I know, everyone is always yelling about sodium, but some salt is actually a necessity. Use the recommended amount of salt in my recipe, and then season to taste when the soup is done.
- Go ahead and add in any other vegetables that you want! Pretty much any veggies will be delicious in this soup. You could also add in some beef or chicken, and if you really want to get crazy, you could add in the some pasta!
These are some other recipes that I think would go great with this one:
Rosemary Parmesan Focaccia Bread
