Today, I am excited to share the second recipe in my Homemade Soup series. This recipe is a recipe that my mom created when she was on her weight loss journey. I have to brag for a second… My mom lost 80lbs on Weight Watchers (and her own healthy recipes), and all by healthy lifestyle changes!! She changed her eating habits, and started exercising again, and was able to accomplish her goals. As I always say, change does not come overnight, but if you stick with it, you can accomplish anything your heart desires!

So enough of that… back to FOOD! Today’s recipe is Chicken Veggie Soup! This is a meal that I have loved since I was growing up, and I just love to make this recipe. It is soooo easy to make. It is a great meal for a cold, rainy day, or for a easy meal after a long day at the beach. It freezes well, so leftovers are easy!
