During the holidays, it is easy to over eat and eat too much fat, sugar and salt. A simple fix for that is some good vegetable soup. And being extra busy and nobody wants to cook; fortunately, there are simple food hacks to the rescue. I have a simple nutritious solution and all you need is a can of black beans, a can of whole kernel corn, a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce.
Quick Vegetable Soup
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 can whole kernel corn drained
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
Stir together and eat hot or cold. This is enough for 4 lunches or 2 dinners and is only 161 calories for a 14 oz. serving or 320 calories for a 30 oz. serving. The sodium content is half of a commercial canned soup, the sugar content is amazing low (7.9 gr in 14 oz.) and no significant fat. If you like your soup spicy, add a dash of tobasco. In my bowl a tossed in a little left over sweet potato. You probably have something left over in the frig. Feel free to add what ever. Eat healthy and feel great.
