It's all about healthy at my house.
I am turning over a new leaf!
Any great recipes you care to share?
This is one I tried last night.It comes from this month's Better Homes and Gardens.
The grown ups liked. The kids- not so much.
CARROT SOUP
3 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cups (approx. 4 whole) sliced onions
4 cups sliced carrots (Carrots with greens attached are sweeter. Ina told me.:-))
32 oz. reduced sodium chicken broth
1. In a large saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and season with salt. Cook 10 min., stirring occasionally.
2. Add carrots, cook for 10 min. more, stirring occasionally. Add broth, bring to a simmer. Simmer covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
3. In a blender or food processor, blend soup, 1/3 at a time, until smooth. Return to pot; heat through.
4. Enjoy with toasted pita wedges and hummus. Mmmmm....
That sounds so good Lori. I am very lazy when it comes to soup. It's so easy to just buy it ready made. I attempted to make some myself a few weeks ago and it was not nice at all! I love pitta bread and naan bread too. I have never thought of having it with soup. It's a great idea.

I love that you paired this up with pita chips and hummus:) I've been trying to turn things around with healthy foods in our house too...it's definitely lots of trial and error! This soup sounds good to me!
