Hot, Hearty Soups. Yum!!!

It's getting to be that time of year. At least it's trying to get there here in Florida. I keep waiting. Anyway, my thoughts have turned toward making soup. There's nothing better that a hot, hearty soup to warm you up.

Soups are know for their healthy contents. After all, they are filled to the brim with vegetables. What a better way to lose weight than by eating delicious soups. By making sure they are low fat, low cholesterol, and low sodium you make it even easier to shed the weight. So get busy and start making those soups.
