A healthy Meal

bean soup... i use mayacabo beans or peruian bean

I came up with this recipe when I went to a Mexican restaurant and my kids ate almost nothing of their meals. This has so much flavor, it's easy to be healthy and still have great taste! My kids' friends LOVE it!

A recipe my older sister gave me, it's full of mint, lemon and garlic, and sooooo good.

This is a good substitute for vegans for comfort food! You won't miss the beef!

Add salt & pepper to taste. For bariatric surgery purposes, I strained this as well so the macros are less than listed but I'm not sure how to calculate that. I also cook with red pepper flake in the soup. It's amazing!

Wonderful and taste; Great for an add-on or just to eat by it’s self!
