Skinny Soup

I have a delicious and nutritious one for you today!  My husband loves this soup.  It's a great one to help you get your daily vegetables in.  I found this recipe online and my husband changed it up quite a bit.  I really like the way he makes it.  It's loaded with fiber and all kinds of good stuff.  See health info below.
