This soup is a great addition for a diabetic diet,because of the low carbs, and for a weight loss program because of the low cals, yet it is tasty and filling. Yes - I know it is 47.3 calories from fat - but no cholesterol and 47 % of 66 calories is next to nothing, so I hope
this qualifies in your eyes as worthwhile time spent in the kitchen.

Enjoy....let me know the verdict.
