Comfort Food That Won't Ruin Your Waistline

I don't know about you, but when the temperatures fall I usually find myself reaching for comfort food - soup being my go-to.  Eating it reminds me of my childhood, so not only does it make me feel warm inside, it also causes some major warm and fuzzies in my brain.

I even have some chicken soup cooking in my crockpot for dinner right now! (If you're looking for a clean, Isagenix friendly Chicken Soup Recipe, come back to this blog next week)

Since my introduction to nutritional cleansing over a year ago I'm WAY more conscious of what I put into my body. But before I starting caring about eating more whole foods and less preservatives, I used to grab a can of soup from the shelf of my local grocery store whenever I had a craving for comfort. 

Little did I know how much garbage was in it. 

There's nothing CLEAN about a can of Campbell's soup - trust me.  

These days I experiment with making different kinds of soups from fresh ingredients at home when I can. Hey, even cooking chicken soup is good for the soul around here. Of course, I don't always have the time to shop for, prep, and prepare a homemade batch of soup when the temperatures drop. When I can't I go in search of fresh options instead of canned.

While my local Wegman's has some really delicious choices, they're pretty heavy in calories and not organic.

A few weeks ago I decided to try Boulder Organic! Soups (formerly Boulder Soup Works), which I stumbled upon when placing an order with Fresh Direct.

The Boulder Organic! line of soups are made artisan-style in small-batches, with certified organic, non-GMO ingredients, featuring fresh vegetables, herbs and spices mostly sourced from farms in the Western United States. All varieties are gluten-free.

The Golden Quinoa and Kale I ordered was super flavorful and I didn't have to feel guilty about eating it AT ALL. And the $6.99 price point for such a large container was budget friendly.

While not all are available in my area from Fresh Direct, they currently have seven soup varieties to choose from, including two with a chicken broth base and five vegetarian varieties:

Roasted Tomato Basil
Green Chile Corn Chowder
Red Lentil Dahl (Isagenix Friendly)
Garden Minestrone (Isagenix Friendly)
Golden Quinoa and Kale
Potato Leek
Butternut Squash Soup with Sage
