Winter soup

Here is a one-pot, no-fuss, low-calorie, healthy soup.

1 box of chicken broth or stock
In-season veggies to the top of the stock. My favorites are celery, zucchini, red cabbage, green cabbage, and carrots
1 tsp sugar (to cut the bitter of the veggies)
salt to taste.
Chop veggies into bite-sized pieces.
Bring all to a boil
Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes (depending on how crunchy/soft you like the veggies)
You can add diced chicken or low-fat sausage for protein, if you like.

I have not done the calorie count on this one, as it will be different depending on the veggies you use. You can measure and check on calories for the vegetables you decide on, at www.calorieking.com

The sugar has 15 calories, the box of broth 40 calories, and the salt has zero calories.

Also, I love to top my soup with a bit of grated sharp cheese. I think it add a depth of flavor that is worth the calories.

Hope you like it. Feel free to let me know what you think.
