Receta Ginger lime soup with soba noodles
If you over-indulged in chocolate bunnies over the weekend, this soup is a nice way to get back on track. It is light, healthy, and full of flavor. For extra protein, I serve it over soba noodles.
Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour and contain 8 grams of protein per serving.
