A nutritious and satisfying meal that will keep you full.
I love this soup. It has everything you need, nutritious, versatile, flavourful, easy to make and filling!
This soup is a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals and can be easily customized to your liking by adding different spices, vegetables, or proteins. Plus it’s relatively easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. —happybellycreations
