This the original soup or diet soup that many people eat to lose weight. I of course can never leave any recipe alone because duhhh I know I can make it better.
I can’t stand watered down mushy soups so this is my version of the” diet” soup.
This baby is packed with so many vitamins from the fresh vegetables and under 100 calories per cup, even my picky husband loves it!
Now I do not recommend eating this every day for every meal, I simply like it because it is light on the tummy. I even add sausage and mozzarella sometimes and mmm that is delish!
You can even blend it up in the ninja or blender and drink it as a smoothie. I make mine with a large quantity of tomato juice so it tastes like V8.
OK enough chit chat lets get on it… again it may be called a diet soup but it doesn’t taste like one and you can add anything you so desire!
