One of the easiest go to meal preps that I constantly make because A. it’s super convenient, B. it’s super fast. Literally takes 15 minutes to build this one up!
I have to say though that I took a shortcut and used a 100% Vegetable Broth that’s made entirely out of vegetables and a touch of sea salt. If you prefer to make your own vegetable stock, by all means go for it. The original recipe also uses a Mizkan Soup Base but it contains pork of which I do not eat.
This recipe is also vegetarian but I’ve used eggs so if you do not eat eggs, feel free to take it off from your preparation! Now here’s one thing I need you to remember too… As we’re preparing this for meal prep, don’t overcook your leafy veggies! I only cooked it for 30 secs, and if you want, you can also separate the veggies from the soup before storing it. That way you retain as much nutrients in it as possible.
Of course, it’s a beauty too if you can consume this as soon as possible, it’s tasty and seriously, how can healthy food taste so good? Your family will definitely love it. Get this going and give it a go! Let me know how it is for you 🙂
