Weight Loss Veggie Soup
I know I know.. it’s 90 degrees out, but this soup is just too good to not make once before you make it 1,000 times this fall and winter!
It has little to no carbs in it and you ca mix and match any veggies and proteins you want. I will give you some different additions at the end but first I will tell you what I did.
