For over 40 years, the Golden

top quality ingredients like real, fresh
potatoes skillfully blended with onions

Fintor and Carla L. Hen-
ry, authors of the Souper Skin-
ny Soups book.
This soup cookbook teaches
readers how to create the stocks,
creams, and bases for a variety
of recipes. Each soup comes with
serving guidelines and nutri-
tional information for calorie
counters. Recipes include basic
as well as gourmet varieties from
Easy Veal Paprika Soup to Russ-
ian Borscht.
Soup is a filling food
that makes eating
less feel like eat-
ing more, and it is
easy to fix without
loading in unnec-
essary fats, cho-
lesterol, and
calories. Whether
as an appetizer or
main course, a
hearty bowl of soup is a nu-
tritional way to eliminate the
yo-yo effects of dieting.
Below are some of my favorite
delicious, low-calorie soup recipes
from Souper Skinny Soups.
