Healthy Soups
|
I love soups! You throw everything in a pot and you let it cook - Genius! I find that too many soups out there are filled with unnecessary cream and salt. Simply blending green vegetables with broth leaves you with quite a creamy soup to begin with. Try and make a couple and you'll see right away that you can leave the cream and salt behind and get in an endless amount of veggie servings.
