Stacey Says
** For a richer, creamier soup, you can use light, canned coconut milk. It adds 86 calories and 2 Condiments or 1 Healthy Fat.
You can make a double or even triple batch of this recipe ahead of time. It stores VERY well in the fridge (and freezer) and like most soups, is even better the next day. You're gonna love it!
