Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Are you ready for soup yet?

This soup is a lower calorie version of other cream soups, but it is still super delicious! My husband is a lover of anything creamy including soups.  I prefer broth based soups, but I always love to find healthier versions of the creamy ones.

This creamy chicken vegetable soup has added flavor with bacon and cheese, but high nutrition value with all of the vegetables and protein from the chicken.  It is a fabulous main dish for any chilly day, and it smells amazing when you prepare it!  ENJOY!

Comments

Don’t skip the bacon or ham to lower calories because the bacon only adds about 40 calories per serving–definitely worth it!  Choose nitrate free bacon if possible as it is a healthier option.  Nitrates have potential to cause cancer and can be very damaging to overall health. Add other vegetables to vary the flavors this might include zucchini, yellow squash, or other colors of bell peppers.  Remember, it is always a good idea to eat more vegetables!!!
