We are constantly works in progress… Recently I’ve dropped a few lbs because I got SERIOUS about diet, cutting out sugar, and stepped up working out. People have started to NOTICE. It feels good! I have developed my own skinny soup that many have asked for…so I wanted to share the recipe with you!! With a combination of eating right, cardio, my own training and Barry’s Bootcamp Nashville – I am DETERMINED to get into the best shape of my life 2014.

Use as many veggies as you want! Here’s what I use, and I get all of my ingredients from Trader Joes!

1-2 yellow squash
1-2 zucchini
1 carton of mushrooms
Celery
Baby carrots
Cherry tomatoes
Spinach
Chicken
Organic low sodium chicken stock

Take a large pot and put over medium heat with some olive oil. Add mushrooms, chop up the squash, zucchini, celery and carrots and add those. Sauté all of these veggies for a bit and add cracked peppercorn aka (pepper). Add as much chicken broth as you want to the veggies and bring to a boil. (I don’t add a ton – I like mine more like a chunky stew.). Once it comes to a boil, add in cherry tomatoes and spinach. Also add one teaspoon (or more if you want) of dried basil, rosemary and parsley. Add more pepper too! From here bring down to a simmer, cover and let simmer for awhile – an hour or so. Then you can refrigerate and eat it for a week!! I also buy Trader Joe’s simply chicken and add it to each bowl then microwave. I also sprinkle with a little more pepper and 1 stevia to give it a touch of sweet! ENJOY!!
