In an effort to stay healthy throughout the holidays, I made a huge pot of vegetable soup. It’s similar to cabbage soup from the diet except I add lots more things. I made a big pot tonight to take for lunches for this week. Its super filling and warm, also low calorie and FULL of fiber.

* 4 cups of natural chicken broth (Progresso)

* 2 leeks ( white part only)

* 1 can mixed vegetables

* 1 bunch of celery cut into pieces

* 1 can great northern beans

* 1 can diced tomatoes with juice

* 1/2 head of cabbage sliced

* 1/4 bag of frozen artichokes (leftover from Trader Joes)

* 1 c. frozen spinach

* 1 handful of kale (you can omit)

* 1 packet of onion soup mix (Lipton)

Then I just put into tupperware and eat it throughout the week. I usually add parm. before I eat it!IMG_2192.JPGIMG_2195.JPG

For dinner, we wanted different things! I was in the mood for a light dinner of soup, tofu and kale. Brady on the other hand wanted meat! Here are the plates:
