 Moms 028: Soups that Satisfy - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:22:46

Soups are a quintessential comfort food. At their best, soups are swift, simple, and soothing. But, they can also be way too high in salt thanks to the canned broth products and bouillon cubes often called for in recipes. To lighten things up while boosting the nutrients in every serving, we created two family-friendly recipes for today's show: A-Plus Alphabet Soup and Carroty Lentil Soup with Bacon. We also have some great tips for choosing the best canned and prepared soups at the supermarket. Some are definitely better than others! Free recipes at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com/
