Years ago, I had a client tell me she saw this idea on TV and I’ve told people about it ever since.
Chop and add your favorite nonstarchy vegetables to a simmering pot of low sodium tomato juice. Cook to your preference and let cool. Poor the soup into the muffin cups of a muffin pan and FREEZE. Pop out the frozen, appropriately sized, soup blocks and put them in freezer bags and back in the freezer. When you get hungry between meals, pop one in the microwave for a low calorie healthy snack.
I love to keep this in the freezer during the cold months of they year for a warm snack. Also, have you ever noticed how filling a warm liquid is? Enjoy a bowl of your vegetable soup before a meal to keep you from overeating the higher calorie foods offered.
