Receta Fiber Rich Chicken, Barley and Butternut Squash Soup
It’s officially fall and there’s something quite special about a big pot of soup cooking on the stove top. What I adore about this flavorful chicken soup is that it’s not only delicious, it’s so healthy. The barley adds an amazing amount of fiber along with the squash and the carrots, squash, celery and onions are loaded with vitamins. The skinny for 1 cup is 142 calories, 1 gram of fat, 5 grams of fiber and 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. It’s so hearty you can serve this as main course soup.
