Low Calorie Minestrone Weight Loss Soup

This Low Calorie Minestrone Weight Loss Soup is just 150 calories and packed with weight loss ingredients.

It tastes just like minestrone soup, in fact that is the base for this yummy recipe for weight loss soup. But then I added lots of fat burning ingredients to help you shed weight fast. I know you’ll love this yummy soup!

I did add in some barley, but you can swap it out for rice, pasta, or eliminate it all together. But I find a well balanced soup will keep you full longer, while burning more fat.

Ingredients in Healthy Weight Loss Soup Recipe

You can easily lower sodium by getting “no salt added” beans and by getting low sodium vegetable broth.

I’d also recommend eliminating the salt all together if it is a problem for you. A good squeeze of fresh lemon juice will give it the zing you need.

And you can freeze it for meal prep lunches and dinners too! I like to add it to individual serving containers and freeze like that. It just makes serving later, easier.
