We are a family of four...mom, dad and two kids (teenage boy and pre-teen girl). As my husband and I are trying to cut back on our calories, we've decided to undertake a year of soup. One meal every day over the course of the year will be soup.
Why would we undertake such a quest? Well, soup can be a healthy choice -- a good source of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Soup can be a meal itself or serve as a filling starter. Research indicates our ancestors in the Mediterranean ate soup more than 10,000 years ago...and the Med diet is supposed to be one of the healthiest in the world.
Can man..er, a family... live on soup alone?!?! We hope you'll follow us as we make, eat and enjoy soup every day in 2013. We'll share the best soup recipes we come across, and the progress made in our health. And if you have a great soup recipe, please share with us!
Tonight, we began this journey with tomato basil soup. Lot's of fresh tomatoes, some red pepper and herbs. With a little fresh pepper and Parmesan cheese...family gave it a "yum" rating!
