‘Kindness Soup’: A Delicious Healthy Soup
A Soup For All Seasons
Many of us have been cooking, eating, eating and cooking over the past week or so, whether we have been celebrating Passover, Easter or simply the long weekend. We all overindulge from time to time, some of us more than others (pick me, pick me!)
And there are times when we need to give the strudels, kugels, chiffon cakes and baklava a break and nurture our bodies with something warm, delicious and simply good for us.
Since I’ve been following a healthier eating plan to lose a few of the KGs I gained from 8 years of SUPER DELICIOUS AND UNABLE TO RESIST recipe testing, this recipe has been a godsend. The soup comes from the amazing Saimaa Miller from Aussie Body Diet and she has given me permission to share the soup love around. Her gorgeous book has so many wonderful, simple and always healthy food ideas.
It makes an excellent meal if you add some shredded grilled chicken and brown rice, or a lovely, filling snack in the afternoon. Enjoy!
