How good is home made soup!

Mmmmm home made soup is the best, why? Well for starters you know exactly what is in it.  You can control the sodium levels, by making your own broth.  If you have to buy broth in the carton, make sure to read the side label for sodium content.  The cheaper brands have over 900mg per cup! The Presidents choice Blue Menu only has 110mg per cup and I believe Campbells Soup is around 300mg per cup.  You don't want more than 1200mg of sodium a day, so spend the extra dollar, your health is worth it! Another great thing about soup is that you can clean out your fridge.  Use left over veggies, pasta or meat, throw it in the pot with some herbs and you have a quick and healthy meal.  I had leftover chicken, some whole wheat pasta and some rubbery carrots, but in soup, it's all good!
