Negative Calorie Soup

So the Wentworth family is in for a BIG change this year (so long as we keep it up, but I figure if I put it here we will have to keep it up).  We have decided that we are no longer college students, and that mac and cheese and frozen pizzas are not the way to a happy and healthy life- so we are committed to eating better (as well as being much more active).  Which means Darn Good Dinner will be getting a bit of a face lift, with much healthier, and cleaner recipes!! I am SO excited! and I hope you are too!

So to start off this change, we are doing a 2 week detox- out with the old, and in with the new (we don't really know what our detox consists of, but basically mostly just fruits and veggies  and chicken for the next two weeks!)  I found this recipe, and I thought "sure its healthy, but could it actually be good??" and guess what?! IT IS!!! I even helped myself to seconds, because, well, I Can!!!

Negative Calorie Soup
2/3 cup of carrots (chopped/diced/sliced- just make them smallish)
1/2 of a large onion- diced
2 cloves of garlic- diced
4 cups of Chicken, vegetable or beef broth
1/2 cup green beans
1/2 green cabbage- chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large zucchini - sliced

In a large pot, spray non stick cooking spray,and heat- add the carrots, onion and garlic and saute until soft.  Add broth, cabbage, beans, seasonings and bring to a boil.  reduce heat and stir i

n zucchini- cook an addition 3-5 minutes.

that's it! so easy, SO healthy, and SO SO SO delicious!!
