So I recently lost 20 lbs by switching key meals to being chock full of high protein, high fiber foods. I had to find recipes that were quick and easy without weird ingredients that were too "exotic" for my family. I originally found this recipe at our local grocery store, made some minor "tweaks" based on my families preferences and this is how I now make it....super easy and a very healthy, filling soup that stores/freezes well. Even my kids love this soup and help me make it.
