Notes
- Best flavor: Make your weight loss soup with homemade broth.
- Vegetarian option: Skip the meat for a veggie-based version of this soup and add 1-2 additional cans of beans.
- Looking for a bone broth recipe for weight loss? Swap out the broth with a bone broth instead.
- Low-carb: Skip the beans and potatoes for a low-carb version of low-calorie vegetable soup.
- Drain the ground meat well after cooking. If using a higher fat content ground meat you can quickly rinse with hot water to remove more of the fat.
- Swap the Broth: My favorite brand of boullion is 'Better than Boullion" it has great seasonings and is healthier than many other brands. I often use this instead of buying boxed or canned broth.
