When it comes to lunch time, we like BIG, HEARTY, FILLING bowls of soup that don’t take BIG chunks of time out of our day to make. This is the single version of the family soup that I call Popeye’s Power Soup. Get filled up fast for lunch (or use these for a quick dinner) and allow the healing ingredients to work their health-promoting, slimming powers in your body. This quick, single-serve soup recipe can be found on page 121 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook.

Note
From page 121, Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
Serene Chats: "This is the single version of the family soup that I call Popeye’s Power Soup. My children slurp up the family version with lots of my buttered Artisan Sourdough Bread (Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 206) with much gusto. I pull back the cayenne pepper a little for their sensitive tongues and they love it not only for the taste, but because my little ones are determined to be strong like Popeye and burst with his muscles. The larger family soup is a great way to get your children to learn to love greens in a fun way.
When I am not putting pulling my hair out at our night time dinner table, wiping up spilled water and squelching squabbles, I love to savor this soup for its sophistication at lunch. Little do my children realize, this soup is rather gourmet in nature. When my toddler is sleeping during midday, I love to eat this slowly. I take a deep breath with a relaxing “ahhh". A great way to savor a moment’s peace!"
Optional additional protein may be added, like leftover lean pulled chicken breast. This soup has around 13 grams of protein already without the inclusion of meat, so it is not always necessary to add more if your other meals and snacks in that day provide ample amounts.
