For me, soup is a staple in a healthy diet. I eat soup for lunch almost every single day. It's easy to throw together, tastes great, and is a simple way to eat more veggies. This spicy chicken soup is one of my favorites. The chicken, black beans, and corn create a perfect balance of protein, fiber, and healthy carbs. I make this soup anytime I'm feeling low, and it always brightens me up.
FREEZER FRIENDLY: This soup freezes beautifully. Divide the soup into individual freezer-safe bowls and pop it in the freezer for a quick meal anytime. Defrost overnight in the fridge or 4-5 minutes in the microwave. Then just heat and eat.
