It's freezing. And in addition to the constant companionship of my sugar-free cocoa (which I'm sipping right this very moment, per usual), I have been craving soups. But some of the tastiest soups are super high in fat and calories. 1 cup of this stuff is less than 140 calories. You read that correctly.
Tonight we had a luscious and easy peasy soup that just took minutes to make. And you know I'm all about speed cooking, if I have to cook at all. I modded the recipe from My Fitness Pal (they have a ton of great recipes) and even my teen boys chowed down. That's a testament, even if I'm not a food photographer!
