I am excited to share this recipe because is it so easy, healthy and heart worthy! I have taken a classic soup recipe and modified it to meet my goals of keeping my protein intake high, my carbohydrates balanced and keeping it all within a healthy range of 300 calories per meal!
Along with being almost perfectly balanced and low in calories this soup feeds the soul from the inside out. The healthy fats from the coconut oil help increase the absorption of the full spectrum of Phyto Nutrients (Vitamins) and Micro Minerals found in all of those fresh healthy vegetables, the chick peas are high in plant proteins & fiber and the spices work together to promote increased heart health & metabolism and to decrease inflammation!
