Super Healthy and Delicious, Chinese Chicken Vegetable Soup
I’m in LOVE with this soup and I’m pretty sure you’ll love it too! It has a fabulous, flavorful broth and is chock full of high-fiber vegetables. I used broccoli slaw instead of noodles and it works great. You won’t miss the noodles at all!  Each large, main course bowl has only 178 calories and 3 grams of fat. This soup freezes great. I wish I had some right now in my freezer!

Shopping Tips
Most supermarkets sell bags of shiitake mushrooms. I bought them at Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find these, any type of mushroom will work fine for this recipe. Ginger (in a jar) is a terrific product and can be found in the produce section of the supermarket.
