This soup is fast, easy and delicious and I have been eating it since I was a child. Scarlet has always called it “Skinny Minny” soup. While I do believe there is a time and place for juicing, I am not a sweets person. I'm definitely more of a savory gal. During the winter months, this savory, spicy soup, really hits the spot.
And GREAT NEWS: It takes your body more energy to digest the soup than there are calories in it – so do the math!! LOL It also makes a great soup starter if you want to add leftover pot roast or chunks of chicken. My Littles like to eat it with a scoop of quinoa in the bottom of their bowl. I will make this in huge batches and freeze quart size portions to use in cooking or if I need a quick soup on the go. Also makes a fabulous and filling mid-day snack!
Finally, one of the best features of the soup is that you can customize it to your family’s taste. Because I <3 spicy so much – and so does my family – I add lots of HEAT – hot sauce, red pepper flakes etc to mine…. And, you can do LOTS of substitutions for the mixed veggies/ green beans. Sometimes I throw in Brussel Sprouts or Cauliflower. Great way to upcycle leftover veggies in the fridge.
I hope you and your family like it as much as we do!
