Healthy 30-Minute Italian Wedding Soup

Happy New Year!!

Today we made a healthier version of a traditional soup. 🥣

Healthy 30-Minute Itailoan Wedding Soup

We prepared a balanced soup using:

⭐️Lean protien, vegetables, and healthy fat.

⭐️Ways to reduce sodium and saturated fats WITHOUT sacrificing flavor!!!!

⭐️Simple ingredient swaps to meet dietary needs.

⭐️How soup can support hydration, fullness, and comfort.

✅Lean Protien- ground turkey or chicken supports muscle health.💪🏽
✅Leafy Greens- kale adds fiber, iron, and antioxidants. High in vitamins K & C.🥬
✅Broth-Based- Lower in calories and fat than cream based soups.
✅Olive Oil- Heart healthy fat
✅Garlic & Onion- Flavor booster with benefits.
✅Portion Friendly- Filling without feeling heavy!

I know you and your family will enjoy this delicious recipe.
Let me know how you made this healthy soup.
