     Nothing is easier and tastier than a big bowl of soup.  Isn’t it nice to have a week’s worth of meals all in one pot.  Divide this up into 6 servings for lunch or dinner all week, or throw some in the freezer for later.  I was able to put a few in the freezer when I was preparing for coming back from being out of town.  My favorite trick for being organized after travel.  Each of these generous 2 cup servings are only 337 calories, 36g carbs, 8g fiber, 28g net carbs, 36g protein and 5.5g fat.  If you want to make it a heartier meal, serve it over Brown Rice, and spice it up with a little Salsa on top!  This is a high nutrient bowl of deliciousness!😋
