HEALTHIFIED CHICKEN MINESTRONE SOUP
So good. Jackson loved helping me make it. We had it with grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade wheat bread - yum!
75% less sat fat • 50% less cholesterol than the original recipe—see the comparison. Minestrone, an Italian vegetable soup, is a healthy option for lunch or dinner. Use low-sodium chicken broth and boneless, skinless chicken breast to keep the sodium and calories in check.
