We all have our days when we need some comfort food, and that's OK! So I have come up with a healthy recipe that is still comforting and hearty, something that keeps my belly warm and happy on a cold or rainy day. Or for the ladies, this recipe is great for that time of the month!
My version of this is a Hearty Minestrone Soup. I've kept it vegetarian so that anyone can enjoy, but feel free to add some ground turkey or grass-fed beef if you feel you need it. I personally like to top off my soup with some sliced avocado for some added healthy fat.
Have this for lunch or dinner, although I find that a soup is the perfect meal for the evening, as its easier to digest and just one bowl can get you full - so you avoid over-eating at dinner time.
Here is my recipe, but feel free to tweak it to our liking. Enjoy!
Try cooking for a loved one on the next rainy day, or whenever they're in need of some comfort!
Love and comfort,
Mariana
