ZESTY AUTUMN VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOUP

November 15, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

ZESTY AUTUMN VEGETARIAN PROTEIN SOUP
It was Friday night, and the kids didn’t care what they ate.  All they wanted was to take a break, relax, and do nothing.  After a few days of binge eating and carb overload, we all had to eat a bit cleaner for a few days.  The good thing is, the kids love to eat healthy food, but only when it tastes good. When they help make it, it’s even better! ;). I called them to come up with their own ingredients for a soup(little did they know I had it all planned).  The little one chose the vegetables, the teen chose beans, and we had a winning combo. I asked them to chop, clean, and organize. I had the base ready, and they put things together; it’s that simple. They enjoyed it and were thrilled that they came up with it :).

This recipe was inspired by someone I saw on YouTube(don’t remember whom) who was mentioning this grilled vegetable bean soup, and it stuck.  I’m glad it did, and it’s a winning recipe in my book.  
 
And the boys said, “Mom, you have to blog about it!”. “Yes I will,” I said.
