My Low Cal Veggie Soup

Too much baking- Too much cooking- Too much eating...and its time for me to start making my low cal veggie soup.


This is a comfort food that is good for you and hits the spot on those really cold days (or any day!).
It is guilt free and healthy.

Carrots, raw, 2 large chopped (7-1/4" to 8-1/2" long)
Celery, raw, 4 stalk, small chopped (5" long)
