This soup has been around for a few decades, however, it was not known to be a ‘Diet’ food back then. This soup is a great tasting soup, filled with all types of flavors, textures and herbs and spices. It is filling, savory and even better, easy to make.
When economic times were difficult, families came up with foods that were hearty, that would fill them up and keep them satisfied for longer periods of time. This soup was the perfect choice because it does contain so many healthy vegetables that are known to be filling.
When Diet fads began, some realized that this soup was filled with multiple healthy choices, and what may not have been the best was easily eliminated. This left the soup as one of the healthiest options that qualified for most of the diet plans on the market today.
This does not have to be eaten because you are on a diet, this soup is so filled with deliciousness that you want to not only taste it, but also eat it.
Could I add meat to this soup?
Yes, you could, however, you must also understand that the soup will not qualify as a ‘zero’ point meal if you add meat or other ingredients.
Can I use vegetable stock instead of Beef broth?
Certainly! For those that avoid eating meat or meat products, it is a perfect plan to use vegetable stock as the broth. It is kept as a vegetarian soup.
How long does this soup stay fresh?
The soup can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 to 10 days. It is strictly vegetables, no meat and no dairy that would cause it to deteriorate or go bad.
Can this soup be made in advance?
This soup can definitely be made in advance. The ingredients within the soup will blend the flavors together as it sits.
Could I add additional vegetables to the soup?
I have actually added carrots, sweet potatoes and kale. The flavor boosted even higher than it normally is.
