ZUCCHINI, GREEN BEANS AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP
Another healthy, you can't go wrong because it is so low in calories- soup!
It is such a great idea to make a big pot of healthy soup and then take to work for your eat in work lunches.
It's the end of summer and my summer garden gave the gift of a large zucchini and this inspired this soup. When working with an over sized zucchini you may want to peel it if the skin is tough. A low calorie soup is great if you are getting to your healthy weight. You can have a small serving between meals which is very satisfying or you could have a large portion as lunch or dinner.
Adding fresh herbs at the end of your cooking time adds such flavor to your soups. I used fresh dill for this soup and it is a winner.
