It’s getting chilly out…in fact, this morning on the way to the gym I had to turn on my seat heater…brrrr! With cold weather comes yummy, warm and comforting soup! I just made the most delicious soup yesterday in celebration of the beautiful fall weather (as well as to help keep me warm because Nate and I are refusing to turn on the heat until at least mid-October). This soup is full of good veggies, fiber and protein at a calorie steal at only 53 calories a cup (0.3 grams of fat, 456 mg sodium, 9 carbs, 2.2 grams fiber, 2.3 grams protein)!
Here’s the recipe (it’s soooooooooo easy!)…
- 3 vegetable bouillon cubes
- ½ cup dry orzo
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 5 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 large zucchini cubed
- 1 cup of celery
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1 can chickpeas (drained)
- 1 can kidney beans (drained)
- 12 cups water
- In a large stock pot bring water to a boil and stir in bouillon cubes.
- Sauté spinach until wilted
- Sauté onions and garlic
- Add all ingredients to broth and simmer until heated through
Yields 24, one cup servings.
Enjoy!
