Almost Zero Calorie Vegetable Soup

With cooler weather comes everyones love for a warm bowl of soup.  This crockpot veggie soup is so simple and tasted amazing.  It can easily be modified to include any of your favorite vegetables.  I added rotisserie chicken or turkey sausage all week to add protein, and I even pureed it one time for a thick and creamy version.  The average bowl of soup can be filled with hundreds of hidden calories.  Check out my recent post ‘Soup and Weight Loss Don’t Always Mix‘ to make sure you know what you are eating.

This recipe is so great for anyone looking to meal prep.  I always recommend taking one day to prepare for the week ahead.  Making sure you have healthy options in your house.  The quote “IF YOU KEEP GOOD FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE, YOU WILL EAT GOOD FOOD” could not be more true!  I hope you love this new recipe!  It is definitely going to be a new go-to recipe in my meal plan all winter long.

MODIFICATIONS:

o   I like to add raw Jennie-O Italian sausage to this recipe.

o   I literally walked around the produce department grabbing any veggies that look good. I also got most from the salad bar to save time on cutting and chopping.
