All You Can Eat Lower Carb Diet Soup

Nicole McBride's Note:

After reviewing many diet soup recipes I adapted my own recipe. All diet soups are very versatile, if you don't like a certain vegetable just leave it out and add more of another. I make a batch of it on Sunday night and eat it for lunch and dinner. I have even snuck it to my husband with the addition of meatballs. He has no clue it is a "diet" soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
