Everything But the Kitchen Sink Soup

A lot of times after a big food holiday like Thanksgiving, we just want to eat light. Nothing complicated, just a simple healthy recipe that you can literally throw together. One of my favorite things to do is make an “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Soup.” 

It can be made with leftover veggies you have from the holiday, veggies that are close to going bad that you don’t want to throw away or with frozen or canned veggies. Add some protein and then serve with beet chips, crunchy sourdough bread or seed crackers topped with plant-based cheese. 

I just make the broth, then cut up and add a variety of veggies and protein, heat and serve.  It’s super easy and incredibly healthy!
