You know there is always room a few times a year to detox your body. This soup is perfect for that purpose. It even fits in perfectly with my 6 week weight loss challenge. It’s filling, and the Greek Yogurt allows it to be just a tad bit “creamy”.
Right about now you are probably wondering how I am doing on my challenge. Let’s just say it’s challenging. Some days I feel I am on target and others, not so much. I have become obsessed with the scale and often weight myself more than once a day. Hence, the frustration. I am officially down 7 pounds and by next weigh in, I really need to be down 10 pounds.
Maybe I just need more soup.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
