Homemade Vegetable Soup
Since starting marathon training a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with a nutritionist through my job. I eat clean most of the time and generally get my recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. One of the suggestions the nutritionist had for me was to add more vegetables. The information that she…
Avocado Lime Chicken Soup
I’ve been craving soup lately. Perhaps it’s wanting something light or maybe it’s just wishing for fall when cradling a warm bowl of soup feels great.

Kielbasa and Spinach Soup

Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
When I told my family we would be having lasagna soup for dinner, they looked at me quizzically. You see, lasagna is always a big hit at my house but we don’t have it frequently because it takes so long to make and it’s probably more cheesy goodness than we really need. So there has…
