I adore soups!! All the nutrients and delicious flavors you want, all in one bowl! Not to mention, soup can be a healthy eaters dream, as it fills you up, without filling out your waistline! And although the convenient cans of soup you can buy at the store are ok for a quick fix, making your own soup can not only be budget friendly, but you can control the quality of ingredients, taste and salt factor. Not to mention, soup is SO EASY to make! With soup, you can eat yourself skinny, now that's something to sip on! Enjoy!
